A heart's delight! A real gem! You don't find a treasure like this everyday!

"Truly a seamless blend of last century elegance and 21st century sophistication, this 1910 house has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored and retains the authentic charm of the original home while intergrating dramatic modern conceptual elements in design.

The play of light thoughout this home is exceptional and one of many rare qualities that Architect Noel Hancock, of Ontario Place renown, incorporated into his vision of this striking yet very inhabitable space. Designed as personal favour & as a personal gift to the seller. This home is a very elegant and decidedly sopisticated redesign of an Arts & Crafts beauty! A labour of Love!

Many beautiful and unique features in this oceanfront property include:

  • the original old-growth Douglas Fir floors;

  • the dramatic glass-tower staircase linking upper and lower levels to the main floor - wonderful views with each step;

  • the chef's kitchen, a cook's delight, enjoy entertaining in this exceptional space - ample lighting, lots of cupboards, quality appliances
  • the gracious dining room, full of old world charm - ideal for dinner parties; equally suited to casual and formal dining;

  • the beautiful and spacious new garden level "suite" with polished concrete, tub, sink, and shower, heated floors is ideal for weekend guests or longer stays - and sweet little kitchenettereduces the burden on the hosts!

  • the grand and dramatic upper level master bedroom suite with elegant bath, lounge, and dressing room;

  • easy care landscaping, dramatic trees parked-out for;

  • ocean-side deck as comfortable and welcoming for morning lattes as for a sunset meal;

  • the decks and patios boast all day sun exposures!

    Property shores the warmest "swimable" waters of the Island. Walk for miles, when the tide is low, and watch the eagles teach their young to fly. A wildlife paradise here! Enjoy low-bank oceanfront living on the shores of Booth Bay taking in vistas East down Booth Canal, and West out Booth Bay.

    Did I mention the spectacular sunsets!

    This land has a unique magical quality; one can feel the energy of mother earth as one walks the land.

    It has been told to me that Salt Spring Island was used by First Nations Peoples more as a ceremonial and healing location than a year round place to live. The shores of Booth Canal were said to be locations where people were brought to the canal and laid beside the ebbing and flowing waters for healing.

    I have not attempted to verify these Salt Spring myths but know from my years living on these shores that the energy of nature is noticeably alive here."

    Easy to show, and quick possession is possible.
