Welcome to your serene nature retreat just outside the city. This updated and immaculate home sits on a large, fully fenced lot with mature, low-maintenance gardens all around, where you can hear the Seymour River rushing close by. Large windows and skylights abound let natural light and beauty into each spacious room. The main floor of this home boasts an eat-in kitchen fit for a chef and a dining room perfect for hosting dinner parties. A gracious living room sits off the front hall and a family room at the back of the home opens onto the sunny, west facing deck with glass awning and heater for year round enjoyment. Just a couple steps below is the very private, large and level back yard. A hot tub and infrared sauna complete the oasis. Upstairs features a primary suite with vaulted ceiling and skylight, walk-in closet and spa like bathroom with free standing tub. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The lower floor has recreation room that could used as a fourth bedroom, as well as a workshop that opens into the lower front gardens where you will find the potting shed. Central air, a wood burning fireplace and the whistler inspired carport add to the resort like charm of this home. Outside the gates, you are just a block or two away from world class hiking and biking trails and the finest that the North Shore has to offer. A 15 minute walk will get you to public transit stops as well as the local grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants, fitness facilities and more. This home also sits in some of the best school catchments around. This private sanctuary is just one freeway exit beyond the bridge to the city making this the perfect spot for those that seek the best of both worlds.
