Located in Shawnigan Beach Estates, this turn-key home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by loving owners for over thirty years. Modernized for energy efficiency with new windows, a ductless heat pump, a new natural gas stove & on-demand water system, and a newly spray-foamed crawl space.  An excellent floor plan that is functional and flexible. There is an open-concept kitchen overlooking the garden with oversized windows that fill the space with natural light, a dedicated breakfast area and a separate dining room for sit-down family meals, and two living/rec rooms that are entirely private from one another, allowing flexibility for a separate children’s room, reading area, or an additional bedroom. All bedrooms are located on the upper floor. There are four generously sized bedrooms, with access to a four-piece bathroom equipped with a shower/soaker tub combo. The primary has a large walk-in closet and a three-piece ensuite with heated floors.   A highlight of this property is the mature landscaping and fantastic outdoor spaces. Sip coffee and watch the sunrise on the front porch, or entertain friends and family in the backyard around a crackling fire on the newly built 10x32 composite deck. Bordered by protected parkland, the yard is a private space overlooking the forest where you can relax and extend your living outdoors.  Decades of love and care have gone into the beautiful, low-maintenance gardens, which feature a range of mature perennials and rose bushes. Fenced garden beds are ready for your ideas, with two well-built garden/potting sheds, an attached garage for your tools and workshop needs, and an RV pad with a 30A electrical plug and sewer connection.  Shawnigan Beach Estates is a fantastic family-friendly community close to all major amenities.
