WHAT B.C. IS FAMOUS FOR — OCEAN FRONT!
If you left the cold area of Canada to come to the “warm lands”, this is what you probably had in mind. A brand-new, West-Coast design, quality home at an affordable price. HONDA DID IT FOR CARS AND THIS DOES IT FOR HOMES. The all-western, Red Cedar exterior is maintenance-free, as is the yard which has been left as nature landscaped it. Down a funky little road that is home to eagles, otters, seals, swans, deer (and some world-class artists), this home has a contemporary look
from the road but all-glass walls on the ocean side with a panoramic view (East, North and West). It’s called the “wow” wall as that is what everybody says when they see it. 3 bedrooms, den, exercise room, sauna, cathedral ceiling great room, West Coast wood cabinets, granite-like counters, center island with eating bar. The lower level is for the pool table, theatre room, or private entrance 1 bedroom suite with a glass wall for the view (a small elevator is available for present or future disability). Share in the private wharf for mooring your fi shing skiff. 10 year new home warranty.

Pet tip: I am still looking for a perfect barn for Pete who is a beautiful but feral cat who is recuperating from a few problems. He requires a barn where he will be fed and allowed to just be there. He has no canines due to some accident at one time and hunting would have its problems. If you don't mind an extra beautiful cat please call me.
