Kept in the family since 1944, this well-loved property, with its pristine cedar cottage and vistas of Howe Sound and the North Shore Mountains, is on the market for the very first time. Impeccably maintained, and extensively updated, this 2 bed/2 bath home is small in square footage, but large in what it offers - an excellent opportunity to be a homeowner on Bowen Island, where rural life meets modern conveniences.
Sitting on a bright, south facing lot, you're never short of sunlight, morning or afternoon. Easy care deer-resistant plants and shrubs thrive among the rocky outcrops. Across the street is the trail to Eagle Cliff Beach, where generations of local residents get together in the time honoured tradition of 'work parties', helping each other to keep the beach and trails accessible, safe, and enjoyable for all.
Douglas Fir and Cedar custom cabinetry, maple hardwood floors, and clever use of mirrors to expand the space visually, are just some of the special features of this lovely home. A large storage/workshop area under the main living space is a great place to store garden tools, camping gear, bikes, and more. The 100 sf detached bunkie, with heat and hydro, could be a perfect art studio, or children's playhouse. More than 500 sf of decking is the perfect place to spot resident eagles soaring across the treetops.
The Eagle Cliff neighbourhood is on the municipal and school bus routes, and just a short drive to the ferry and the amenities of Snug Cove.
