Enjoy coffee on the patio beneath mature fruit trees, stroll to nearby cafés or the seawall, and return home in minutes. Hullo Ferry and Harbour Air are less than 10 minutes away, making trips to Vancouver remarkably accessible. Inside, soaring 14-foot cathedral ceilings and natural light fill the open living and dining spaces.

Outside, the 8,944 sq. ft. lot offers a level, landscaped and fully fenced yard with a gazebo, patio and BBQ area, deck, garden shed, plum and pear trees and grape vines, plus space for a future hot tub. A heated detached garage with its own full bathroom adds flexibility and potential.
