This 8-year-old oceanfront residence is a warm and inviting home featuring custom woodwork and thoughtful design. Spanning a generous double lot with 188 feet of walk-on beachfront, this 0.45 acre property provides space for expansion if desired. The home is a main level with walk out lower level, a wrap-around porch is accessible from the side of the home leading to the oceanfront deck, which offers outstanding views to the south and west across the water and over to Vancouver Island, with the Vancouver Island mountains as the backdrop. Every room invites you in, from the kitchen with its stunning custom-built centre island to the living room, anchored by a cozy wood stove and framing the Broughton Strait through massive picture windows. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring deck access, a walk-in closet with custom shelving, and a spa-like ensuite with a walk-in steam shower. Engineered wood floors and local wood accents and trim add to the west coast ambiance. Descend the stairs—past a unique island-driftwood railing—to a walk-out level currently hosting a gym and guest suite. Plumbed and wired for a second kitchen, this space offers potential for a full suite, a studio, or a family room. The oceanfront cedar deck is fully covered for year-round enjoyment and offers a place to sit and relax, listening to the water on the shore as the sun sinks behind the Vancouver Island mountains. From the refurbished equestrian center barn doors to accents salvaged from an original island boathouse, every inch of this beautifully crafted home tells a story. This home and property provides an inviting retreat for island living, whether to enjoy with a family year-round or to use as a seasonal residence. It is ready to open its doors to new owners looking to live that special island lifestyle. Malcolm Island and the town of Sointula offer a picturesque west coast lifestyle, accessed by ferry from Port McNeill on Vancouver Island. (id:374)
