A prominent two-storey, semi-octagonal bay with flat roof holds the grand entrance, while a striking pedimented dormer with a Palladian window completes the symmetrical, side-gabled look. The home boasts original hardwood and softwood floors, mouldings, and 9-foot ceilings, enhancing its timeless charm. Inside, the 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom layout (with ocean views from the top floor) is ideal for family living, room rentals, or a bed-and-breakfastreflecting its former successful operation as the Garden Gate B&B. Four of the five bedrooms have private ensuites, and a separate back entrance leads to private quarters or rental space, complete with a full bath. The spacious dining and living rooms, along with a welcoming foyer, create an inviting atmosphere for guests or family gatherings. A bright galley kitchen includes two fridges, and two dishwashers, with a walk-in pantry and a butlers nook offers both practicality and classic charm. Modern comforts include a Pacific Energy wood stove, heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, and a fenced yard with patio seating areas, mature trees, shrubs, and raised garden beds. Located close to schools, NBCC, and daycare, this turn-key property is ready for a new chapter as a welcoming home or business. (id:27476)
