Charming character rancher, on a beautifully landscaped .36ac at the top of the legendary Crescent Rd West. This 1200sf, 3 bed/1 bath, classic Qualicum Beach rancher, built in 1959 harkens back to an era of charismatic personality with pretty bay windows, & an appealing floor plan. Nothing fancy, but quality built. Beautifully maintained, in immaculate condition, this home, owned for 45 yrs by the present owner, is move in ready & can be updated over the years to suit your style if so desired. The Den/3rd BR has garden access, & there is a mechanical room that houses a gas furnace, gas HW & extra storage. The kitchen, with hand crafted cabinets, houses the W/D as well as storage of all sorts. Terrific access to the back patio & south facing garden, which was lovingly created over the years by a gardening wizard. Lane access off Hoylake Rd paves the way to a detached 580sf workshop/garage (with pull down storage above), a 224sf single garage, as well as 144sf covered storage & 98sf enclosed gardening shed, all under the same roof! The powered, cedar lined 120sf studio is ideal artistic space, extra bunkie or simply a place to enjoy a good book under the big old maple tree, while sipping on an ice cold lemonade. There are areas to plant a garden to feed your family, a greenhouse to assist with that joyful task & a maturity to the plantings you just can’t find today. Take a break from the madding crowd & step back in time to a less hectic pace on this private & captivating property.
