Nestled among the trees in sought-after Cordova Bay, this enchanting 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rancher offers a rare blend of arts-and-crafts charm, modern comfort, and West Coast serenity on a private 1.23-acre property. A tree-lined driveway welcomes you into a lush and established landscape featuring mature gardens and orchard. Designed for single-level living, the home offers a spacious and functional layout filled with warmth and character. Hardwood floors flow throughout, while the updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home with thoughtful finishes and great connection to the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Large windows and inviting gathering areas open seamlessly to a sunny rear patio that enjoys beautiful afternoon sun—perfect for entertaining, family dinners, or unwinding at the end of the day. The front patio captures the morning light, creating an ideal spot for coffee and quiet starts. Updates include heated ensuite bathroom floors, newer appliances in the main house, a newly installed main septic field, refreshed landscaping with hydroseed, and a recently pumped septic system for the detached cottage. Buyers are asked not to walk on portions of the newly hydroseeded backyard and pathway areas while the lawn establishes. The property offers exceptional flexibility with a beautifully finished detached 1-bedroom cottage/studio, ideal for guests, extended family, creative pursuits, or potential income. An additional detached art studio provides even more inspiring flex space to create, work, or retreat into nature. With ample RV parking, room for trampolines, gardens, outdoor activities, and endless possibilities to personalize and expand your vision, this property is truly a lifestyle offering. Located just minutes from top-rated schools, beaches, trails, golf, shopping, and recreation, this soulful home offers the perfect balance of privacy, creativity, and connection to nature. Your ideas await on how to make this special property your own. (id:24212)
