The lovely sunroom is a wonderful place to relax and soak in the spectacular coastal scenery, while the generous entertaining deck invites outdoor gatherings, with steps leading directly to the beach and endless opportunities to explore the shoreline. Upstairs, an inviting open loft area offers a wonderful additional living space, complemented by two generous bedrooms and a full bathroom, ideal for family and guests. One of the true highlights of this upper level is the charming private deck accessed directly from the loft, where sweeping views across the shoreline provide a breathtaking setting to watch the sunrise paint the sky and water in brilliant colours. A spacious double garage adds convenience and storage. Ideally located in one of the area's most cherished seaside neighbourhoods, just 5 minutes from the shops, restaurants and amenities of both Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
