This beautifully maintained rancher on .44 of an acre with CR-1 zoning offers privacy with a backdrop of perennial gardens and mature forest. Built in 2006 this rancher with bonus room has a two car garage, crawl space and heat pump for the most energy efficient heating and cooling. Just freshly painted and a new roof installed 3 years ago. The welcoming foyer leads into a bright living area anchored by a stone-faced gas fireplace and expansive windows that frame the lush backyard. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, complete with an extra-large island and an inviting dining space. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. There are 2 more bedrooms that share a bathroom, plus a bonus room upstairs with peek-a-boo views to the ocean. Beautifully maintained and move in ready. Enjoy the coastal lifestyle just a short walk from the historic Fanny Bay Inn, where you can unwind on their outdoor patio with sweeping ocean views, fresh local seafood, and a classic pub menu. Just a 20 minute drive from Courtenay along the oceanside. Beautiful.
