Designed and built by an architect for his family residence, a winding shaded lane will welcome you to this southwest facing home enhanced with thoughtful details and convenient living spaces located on Salt Spring Island, BC. Solid wood doors with brass hardware and deep oak windowsills showcase some of the quality craftsmanship contained within. Rooms, skylights, built-in planters and floor tiles are hexagon shaped for added interest. Three bedrooms plus den, three bathrooms and open concept sunken living/dining room provide one level living with master suite on main and two bedrooms and full bathroom upstairs for children or guests. A tiled entryway with powder room is a thoughtful feature for pets or muddy gumboots. Relax in the hot tub off the master bedroom and watch eagles soar or gaze at the stars. Two sets of french doors expand the living area onto a multi tiered patio with large built-in planter for your tomatoes and kitchen herbs. As well, a grape arbour over the patio offers shade for those sunny summer days. Recent upgrades include freshly refinished oak floors and quality newer stainless kitchen appliances, as well as a newer metal roof (2012) and recently painted exterior. An efficient Jotul wood stove heats 90% of the home very efficiently, although baseboards are also installed. Passive solar panels ensure hot water is always plentiful, and a deep well provides all the water you require. Eight inches of exterior insulation, twenty-four inches of ceiling insulation as well as tinted south facing windows ensure a comfortable temperature is maintained year-round. A heated workshop and plentiful storage space complete this lovely home. A separate building offers covered wood storage, garden storage, and a chicken coop. Mature apple trees, a sunny fenced garden and a large grassy field are surrounded by a wooded perimeter of mature trees on 3.73 acres. Bordered by Ford Creek and adjacent to Ducks Unlimited 160 acre land conservancy, this very private property is most conveniently located on the local bus route midway between Ganges Village and Fulford Harbour.
