If you're ready to buy a home - for your own use or as an investment - or if you have friends who are interested in buying a home so they can live their own Gabriola dream, then please get in touch with me. I would like to move within a few months, and there's a lot to do, and not much time to get it all done.
Home and Driveway
The home has plenty of space for parking at the front. If you need to park another vehicle, or if you have deliveries to the back door, the driveway (shown in the foreground) curves around the home to the back.
The front of the house has the main entrance. Another entryway, plus sliding doors from the daylight basement, offer access to the lower level. Set back a ways from the road, and behind mature trees, it's easy to forget that you are close to the convenience of North Road.
The property - about three-quarters of an acre - includes large trees, a big back yard, ornamental pond, fruit trees, and space for your garden. The small building at the back of the home is heated and insulated, and could be a studio, meditation space, or work-area, or whatever else you might imagine. Easy ground-level access is available for both levels of the home. The backyard provides a quiet and peaceful retreat, whether you want to watch birds, tend a garden, or simply enjoy the ambience of the trees, shrubs and lawn.
The Upper Level
Upstairs, the home has an open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. The dining room has sliding glass doors to a large deck. Two bedrooms (each with bamboo flooring) and a bathroom complete the upper level, which is close to 1000 square feet. Flooring in the living room and kitchen/dining area is Brazilian cherry, meticuously installed by an island craftsman. A vaulted ceiling and skylight provide a light and open feeling to the living area and kitchen.

The Lower Level
This home is only one home, but it has been designed in a way that provides two distinct areas, making it ideal for a home-based business (or for people who simply prefer to have their own space).
The lower level has two more bedrooms (or a bedroom and an office, or two offices), along with a large "bonus room" that could be used as a family room or gallery. The lower level also has a separate storage room and a utility room with a toilet and shower.
The Price
Asking price was $350,000. NOW REDUCED TO $330,000. Referrals from agents will be recognized.
