Cute as a button and looking like it’s right out of a magazine this charming cottage-style home exudes warmth and personality. Solidly constructed of Western Red Cedar, it stands the test of time – ‘Pan-Abode’ cabins are still being built today.
Recently updated with fresh white paint, it retains its original character but feels modern and bright. Brand new windows have just been installed, and there’s new vinyl plank flooring in the living/dining/kitchen and bedrooms (no transitions!). The entire 1286sf of living space is all on one level, which can be challenging to find on Bowen Island.
The huge picture window in the living room looks out onto the spacious covered deck and the mature hedge behind it that ensures privacy. Recent tree removal allows more sunlight onto the property which is all you need for growing in the front fenced garden, where there are several raised beds.
The beach at Tunstall Bay is one of the most popular on the island, and it’s where families and friends gather day and night for picnics and socializing. When you live in Tunstall Bay you can become a member of the waterfront Beach Club with clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and oceanside racks to store your kayaks and paddleboards. Kids can catch the school bus from the end of the driveway!
