This gorgeous West Coast property, set in the seaside neighbourhood of Craigdarroch, offers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship and flexible guest space on a beautifully landscaped 0.43-acre lot. The renovated main home is warm and character-filled, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, custom millwork, built-in shelving, a local-stone gas fireplace and radiant in-floor heat in key areas. A major renovation in 2011 included new windows and insulation, adding comfort and efficiency while preserving the home’s character. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a Wolf 6-burner gas range with electric oven, a large quartz-topped island, bamboo counters, microwave drawer and separate butler’s pantry. The primary bedroom offers space for a king-size bed, engineered flooring and a beautiful built-in wood dresser, while the bath features heated heritage-style tile, a quartz counter and neutral tiled shower. Upstairs, a guest bedroom, 3-piece bath with soaker tub and hand shower, and a loft office overlooking the living room provide flexible space for family, work or visitors. Outdoors, a striking timber-covered deck showcases traditional dowel joinery and a stone gas fireplace, creating an inviting space for year-round enjoyment. The landscaped grounds include a greenhouse with irrigation and venting, raised vegetable beds, apple, pear and cherry trees, pollinator-friendly perennial gardens and a powered garden shed. A separate 2023 guest cottage is ideal for visiting family and friends, with a custom Murphy bed, kitchenette, soapstone counters, skylights, on-demand hot water, gas fireplace, 3-piece bath and its own private porch. A white timber-frame carport and municipal water add convenience. Set in a welcoming seaside community, this tranquil, character-rich property offers generous grounds, dedicated guest accommodation and relaxed coastal living just minutes from beaches, recreation and all the Comox Valley has to offer.
