Barged over from Oak Bay 20 years ago and relocated to the Sandpiper neighbourhood of Hornby Island, this year-round home is close to the beach, forest trails and Hornby's Co-op and Ringside Market. The House is on a new cement foundation and has updated wiring and plumbing (plus other improvements), making the effective age less than 30 years. The kitchen is bright and has new quartz countertops and a convenient large island. It is also fitted with an antique cast iron sink from an old home in Vancouver. The living room and third bedroom face south-east and capture the delightful morning sunshine. This home is equipped with a new heat pump for efficient heating and cooling, as well as a Pacific Energy wood stove. The primary bedroom with ensuite is conveniently located with easy access to a private hot tub. Adjoining the primary bedroom is a smaller Hornby-cedar-lined bedroom with French doors opening onto a newly constructed covered deck opening up to the park-like forest. Over the past few years many updates and improvements have been made including a decent-sized carport, mixed vinyl-plank and hardwood flooring, new Roxul insulation with hardware cloth for rodent proofing, some new windows and blinds, a new shallow well and third cistern for irrigation, new over-sized hot water tank, new gutters, new workshop/shed, now established fruit trees and ornamental maples. All on a private half acre that is fully fenced. Floor Plan Available. Come home to the quiet life. Enjoy the combination of old and new styles. Give us a call. Let's talk!

About
Looking back, it is hard to imagine that he would be where he is today, doing what he loves, surrounded by incredible family and friends. It feels like yesterday that this small town, Hanna, Alberta, farm boy was out working the fields with his Dad. Growing up it was always “family-first” in the Walper household. Kirk, the proud middle child, brother of two fun-loving sisters Melanie and Leanne, attributes so much of what he’s accomplished to the strong roots planted by his parents, Eric and Fay. Now, a second-generation realtor since 2001, Kirk continues to follow in the footsteps of his parents.
