Property Description
Appraised at $925,000, this sun-drenched West Coast home is just steps from Gabriola's iconic Twin Beaches—giving you barefoot beach access without the oceanfront price tag. The 2-bed, 2-bath main level spans 1,562 sq ft and features vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and panoramic ocean views. Tasteful upgrades include a modern kitchen, heat pump with A/C, updated septic and water systems, woodstoves, and a brand-new entertaining deck. Downstairs offers a renovated family room and rec room with private entry—ideal for guests or rental potential. A 742 sq ft detached building adds flexible space for an art studio, workshop, or home-based business. Set on a landscaped, irrigated 0.38-acre lot with ocean glimpses and total privacy—yet just 5 minutes to ferry, moorage, school bus, and Village amenities. Start your day with a sunrise paddle, end it with sunset swims, and stargaze from your deck. Offered below appraised value—this is island living without compromise.
