Bright, spacious family home in Mission Ridge, a friendly East Courtenay neighbourhood of well-maintained properties. West Coast-inspired timber beams create a welcoming first impression, while the dramatic two-storey entry sets the tone inside. The main level is bright and open, with easy-care laminate flooring flowing through the living room, dining room and kitchen. A 12' cathedral ceiling and high windows add volume and natural light to the living room, while large windows across the rear of the home bring the outdoors in. The kitchen is designed for everyday family living with a large island, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, generous cabinetry and plenty of workspace. The adjoining dining area opens directly to the patio and backyard. A separate office/media room with built-in desk offers valuable flexibility for working from home, hobbies or a quiet retreat. The laundry room includes excellent storage, folding counter and even a convenient pet shower. Upstairs, carpeted stairs lead to three comfortable bedrooms. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite with double sinks, quartz counter, separate glass shower and relaxing soaker tub. A full main bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. Outside, enjoy a sunny southeast-facing backyard with an impressive 45' aggregate patio, generous side yard, full fencing and a tall cedar hedge providing privacy. Permanent seasonal lighting in the eaves adds convenience, while the double garage and large driveway provide plenty of parking. A heat pump delivers year-round comfort. All this just steps from North Island Hospital, Costco, North Island College and the Aquatic Centre. Built by local builder BryCyn Homes. (id:60457)
