Allan and I and our family have enjoyed living in our home since we constructed it in 1992. We have operated a bed and breakfast since 2002 and we have had the pleasure of participating in home exchanges and meeting some wonderful people- a terrific lifestyle. But now, because of health issues, we must sell and move onto a smaller property. This has not been an easy decision to make and while we are going through this transition we are still operating our bed and breakfast and taking bookings with the approval of our guests. Let me describe the house to you. It was constructed in 1992 and is a 3 story home with a completely finished downstairs 3 bedroom in-law suite, with a cement crawl space under this floor. The house is situated on a sub-dividable view property that is just shy of one acre. It enjoys a very private treed setting, yet faces south, gets lots of sun and has a wonderful sea view. The house was custom built and designed based on the design of the B.C. forestry homes of the 40's. It is a classic West Coast design with gambrelled Cedar Shake roof with 6 dormers. The siding is a faux wood vinyl in Cape Cod Gray and all the windows are vinyl clad, double glazed with the south facing windows being Low-E glass. You enter the house on the main floor which has a level-entry, with a two story foyer which leads into a large open concept kitchen/living/dining room. There is a three piece bathroom on this floor as well as a large utility room and a den/bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with a Thermador gas range with down draft venting and a convection oven, a new dishwasher and an American sized side-by-side fridge/freezer with built in ice maker and water. The cupboards are natural pine made on the Sunshine Coast and there is a triple stainless sink with garburator. The floors on this level are old growth edge grain Fir milled and supplied locally. There is a gas fireplace in the living room, a gas barbeque on the deck and a chimney fitting for a gas fireplace downstairs. There are two sliding doors leading to a large deck which has safety glass inserts in the aluminium railings so as not to impede the view. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms with 3 closets per room and lots of storage space. There is a large bathroom with jetted tub, separate shower and pedestal sink. The downstairs suite is accessed through the house or from a separate entrance. The floors on this level are Oak and there is a fairly new fridge, electric range and dishwasher as well as a stacking washer and dryer in the kitchen. There is a lounge area, 3 bedrooms and a 3 piece bathroom on this level. There are three sliding doors on this level, leading to a new covered deck. The house was built using the finest materials available at the time of construction. There is a gas-fired hot water zoned heating system and heat recovery ventilation system as well as a built in vacuum all of which are located in the boiler room on the lower level. There is also a roughed in alarm system. The property enjoys a view from every angle. Most of the property is fenced and it is completely landscaped, has two spring fed ponds, large Cedar trees and a large variety of shrubs and fruit trees some dating back to the Anderson family who occupied the original property in the 30's. There is a cement driveway and an exposed aggregate courtyard at the front of the house. There is ample parking for 5 or 6 cars. There is a trail running from the top end of the property which was built by the town and this connects to the upper town and also goes down to quaint, eclectic Gibsons Landing and the harbour. The property is 4 blocks from the seaside village of Gibsons Landing, two blocks from local schools and medical facilities and shopping. The services are underground and the property faces south and the unobstructed views are gorgeous. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT The property is sub-dividable. The serviced city sized lots across the way are selling for $279,000 to $325,000. There is an opportunity to develop this property either by cutting it in half and building an additional house or possibly getting three lots as well as the house and a lot. Ideally, this property would make a terrific holding property to be developed carefully with other family members as it is, after all, the last big parcel so close to the harbour and one that has an abundance of native trees and plants. It is private yet part of a great neighbourhood. You can walk to either the upper town or the lower Landing. There is a good bus service and we are just a 7 minute drive from the ferry terminal. We are asking $1,250,000.00 Canadian Funds. We are very flexible on our moving dates as we realize that if someone is relocating from another country there are always lots of legalities involved with the move itself. Please don't hesitate to call us at (604) 886-2466 or email at info@howseshouse.com. We will happily answer any questions you may have and provide you with additional information and pictures if required. We look forward to hearing from you soon! Allan and Denise Howse
