Open House Sun Oct 19 from 2-4! Tucked away in the coveted end unit of Mariner Ridge, this 1,998 sqft townhome combines privacy, natural light, and panoramic views of Cowichan Bay, Mt. Tzouhalem, and passing sailboats. Nestled beside a forested area, the setting offers a peaceful connection to nature, regular deer sightings, & the benefit of keeping the home cool in summer. The main level is bright and welcoming with vaulted ceilings, maple hardwood floors, a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a sunny eating nook. The spacious living room features a dual-sided gas fireplace and flows seamlessly to the dining room, office/den, and a 2-piece bath. Step outside to the private deck, where you’ll never look directly into another home—just open skies and ocean views. Downstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a 5-piece ensuite with dual sinks, soaker tub, and shower. A large second bedroom, full bath, and laundry complete this level. Both bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, offering comfort rarely found in townhome living. The office on the main floor could also function as a 3rd bedroom with the addition of an armoire, creating the opportunity for one-level living. Recent upgrades add peace of mind, including hardwood flooring (2021), updated kitchen finishes, new heat pump and furnace (2022), and fresh paint and lighting throughout (2023). The community is well-run by professional property management, with exterior painting recently completed. Residents of Mariner Ridge enjoy a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with regular gatherings, while being just minutes from Cowichan Bay’s shops, restaurants, marinas, and Hecate Park. Valleyview Centre and Bench Elementary are close by, with Duncan, Victoria (less than an hour), and the Mill Bay Ferry offering easy connections beyond. A rare combination of space, light, privacy, and community — this townhome truly offers a sanctuary on the coast.
