Single-Level Comfort Meets Island Serenity on Canso Road
Embrace the next chapter of your life in this very clean, 2019-built rancher where low-maintenance living meets coastal comfort. Perfect for retirees or those looking to downsize without compromising on quality, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on a .46-acre property in one of Gabriola Island’s most desirable neighborhoods. Offering the effortless ease of true single-level living, the home still carries the peace of mind of a home warranty, showing like brand new from the moment you step through the front door.
Inside, the home opens up into an airy, open-concept living area defined by vaulted ceilings, elegant crown molding, and the warm, inviting crackle of a cozy woodstove. The kitchen is a masterpiece of design and functionality, boasting a massive island with seating, a generous walk-in pantry, and a premium induction cooktop—making it the ultimate hub for hosting family or preparing a quiet meal for two.
Designed with privacy in mind, the thoughtful layout features a split-bedroom design. The primary suite is a secluded oasis at one end of the home, featuring an expansive walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite bathroom complete with heated tile floors, a deep soaking tub, and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the rancher, offering plenty of space for overnight guests, a dedicated den, or a home office.
One of the most unique and valuable features for downsizers is the massive 1,420-square-foot walk-out basement. Featuring a 6’5″ ceiling height and large windows that flood the space with natural light, this area is the ultimate solution for transitioning from a larger family home. It offers endless space for clean, dry storage, a dedicated hobby workshop, or a fitness studio.
Your outdoor living experience is second to none. Spend your mornings sipping tea on the durable front composite deck, or unwind on the spectacular 10’ x 54’ back deck. Complete with a beautiful covered gazebo, this expansive outdoor living space is your front-row seat to watch local birdlife in the mature forest beyond. The property is fully fenced, featuring a low-maintenance front yard, a handy garden shed, and a blank-canvas backyard ready for your gardening ideas.
Engineered for absolute comfort and reliability, the home is equipped with a high-efficiency heat pump for perfect climate control (heating in the winter and cooling air conditioning all summer), three massive water cisterns (6,000 gallons total storage), and a top-of-the-line household water filtration and UV light system.
Turn-key, exceptionally quiet, and beautifully crafted, this Canso Road sanctuary is the stress-free island retreat you’ve been looking for.
