OCEANFRONT FAMILY ESTATE on 1.14 acres of ultra-private, beachfront property drenched in sunshine and situated with expansive views of Haro Strait and the Gulf Islands. The Nantucket-inspired 4063sqft MAIN RESIDENCE nestled between the ocean, forest, and wildflowers in the summertime, gracefully welcomes a coastal lifestyle of casual luxury. White-washed shiplap ceilings, gentle cream walls, and engineered wide-plank oak floors finish the gathering rooms on the main floor which features a custom gas fireplace built of rock hewn from a Vancouver Island quarry. The main level primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with Stapleford 100% New Zealand wool carpeting, a stone gas fireplace, and French doors opening to the heated, screened porch tiled with classic bluestone imported from the East Coast. The spacious ensuite has heated floors, two WIC, and was built for accessibility and aging in place. A custom kitchen by Urbana delights the chef with solid maple, dovetailed drawers and cupboards, top-end Thermador appliances, an expansive granite island, quartz countertops, and hidden appliance and TV garages. The kitchen eating area, dining room, and living room all feature mullioned windows with expansive glass to behold the panoramic ocean views. Upstairs an airy, tiled sunroom with vaulted ceilings and elevated views of cedars, Douglas firs, the beachfront and the islands beyond, is the perfect place to set up your exercise equipment, artist’s space, or pool table. Luxury wool carpeting provides softness underfoot in the two bedrooms, flex room, large office, and family room on this level. Built to host groups of extended family and friends, the 2 BDRM CARRIAGE HOUSE was a 600K build in 2024 and finished with the same attention to detail and quality. The 3-Car Main Garage and the 3-Car Carriage House Garage plus ample extra parking for recreational vehicles and boats is a car enthusiast’s dream. This legacy family home is the definition of understated luxury.
