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!
