Nestled in nature on a picturesque and private half acre lot you will find this well cared for, 4 bedroom 2 bath family home. It is located rurally in a quiet and peaceful subdivision that is within a short walk to the beautiful trails of the Big Qualicum Fish Hatchery. Enjoy the park-like front yard and listen to the gentle flow of the seasonal creek while relaxing or entertaining in the gazebo. There is plenty of room on this fully fenced property for your toys; parking for 4+ vehicles and you can even hook-up your RV to septic/water and electric. This home offers character the moment you enter the bright foyer. Looking up you feel the expanse that vaulted ceilings provide. This spaciousness continues as you arrive on the main floor and walk into the open concept living/kitchen and dining area that accesses the upper deck with built-in seating. Down the hall is an oversized bedroom, full bathroom and the master bedroom retreat where you can unwind or take a detour into your own private sitting area/office to relax/work in peace and quiet. The ground-level lower floor has been configured as a self-contained suite perfect for multigenerational families. There is a wood burning stove in the large living room that can heat the home in the winter months, 2 more generous bedrooms, a walk through kitchenette, 3 piece bathroom and laundry with access to the double car garage. French doors open into the large back yard and lower deck. Along the back fence line you will find a berry patch and six raised and fenced garden beds, two greenhouses, a 40 foot chicken run and coop! There are 3 water cisterns around the yard to assist during dry months. Fruit trees along the property include cherry, apple, and pear varieties. A storage shed and covered woodshed are already in place, providing convenient additional storage. The beauty, privacy, and setting of this property are best appreciated in person.
