Property Description
Situated a short walk from Deep Bay Marina, this immaculate home blends Scandinavian efficiency with incredible space and versatility. Thoughtfully built and exceptionally insulated, the main residence expands to 2816sq. ft. thanks to a clever partial conversion of the massive attached garage. This flexible space makes room for extra family, a home business or serious hobbies. Set on a cleared, fully fenced, gated, and well drained 1.09 acres, with municipal water, this property is a dream for those seeking a peaceful oasis. You'll love the back garden and greenhouse along with a separate, professionally built 998sq. ft. three bay garage/ shop with bay doors. A homesteaders paradise. Major modern updates include a new septic system in 2015, updated plumbing and electrical, fully renovated bathrooms, new flooring, and upgraded insulation. Cozy up by the propane fireplace and enjoy single level living with room to spare. This rare find is truly a must-see in person.
