This prestigious waterfront address embodies 0.56 acre of highly sought-after oceanfront beauty and potential. Perched at the end of a long, flowering cherry tree-lined driveway, a charming bungalow rests between garden and sea. The breathtaking panoramic ocean views of Haro Strait take in the twinkle of Sidney’s evening lights, the Gulf Islands, and marine coastal life. The large property is gated at the driveway and partially fenced with luxury builds on both sides. The 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath, one-level home has lots of storage and all of the main rooms have massive windows to capture the outstanding view. In the living room, a beamed cathedral ceiling and a gas fireplace are viewed from the adjoining, spacious dining room, and is a warm and inviting place to entertain. The oak kitchen, with plenty of cabinets, drawers, and even a concealed, lighted bar, opens into the family room where this is yet another gas fireplace. A butler pantry behind the kitchen offers more space to prepare for entertaining. The glass-encased sunroom is ready for all green thumbs and the two outdoor patios are lovely places to dine or read a book. The backyard has an impressive expanse of flat lawn that is perfect for bocce or croquet. This high bank property even has a secret path down to the beach that could potentially be converted into your own private stairwell to the most magnificent stretch of quiet beach. This oceanfront gem is only six minutes from Sidney and yet feels dreamily private. Hop on your bike and ride the famous Lochside Trail from the end of your driveway. Move-in-ready OR purchase to build your luxury waterfront dream home! All measurements to be verified by buyer if important. (id:60457)
