This stunning quality built custom west coast contemporary home takes full advantage of the southern exposure with windows and glass covered sun deck all along the south wall overlooking the water. The home is beautifully finished and just a few of the special features include: bamboo and fir floors throughout, vaulted ceilings with large exposed fir timbers, feature rock wall behind the air tight wood stove, large loft family room and guest room, large utility room with built in pantry, attached garage, shop and green house.
The modern kitchen has porcelain counter tops and an island that includes a casual eating area. The kitchen window opens on to the attached greenhouse which has double paned glass and a propane heater. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the water. The master suite opens on to the sundeck overlooking the water and has a walk in closet and full size en suite bathroom.
The floor plan works very well with lots of open spaces and a nice flow from room to room. The home was built with wood cut from the property and the joists and rafters are 12" hemlock and fir. The insulation is R20 in walls, R28 in the floor and R40 in the roof. The roof is hidden fastener metal panels, the windows are all double glazed, the siding is cedar and the doors are solid fir.
The protected sundeck runs the full length of the house and has glass panels as railings so the view of the ocean is not impeded. There is a covered built in Bar B Q station with propane plumbed from the big tank so no more hauling tanks for filling! The approximately 550' of waterfront offers easy access to a walk on beach with protected deep water moorage right in front of the property. There are some nice flat rocks in front of the house that make great platforms for swimming. There is currently an older dock with new pilings in place and a foreshore lease. The area around the home is nicely landscaped with rock walls, open grassy area and a productive fenced garden that includes many flowers mixed with the veggies. A large portion of the property is undeveloped and has some nice big trees. The property is conveniently located near the Gorge Harbour Marina which is the only marine gas outlet on Cortes Island. |
