Offered for the first time in 53 years, this extraordinary Metchosin property is rich with potential and steeped in the kind of setting that rarely comes to market. Nestled on over 2 private acres backing onto Bilston Creek, the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is full of character, with vaulted ceilings with skylights, cedar-paneled walls, a sunroom, fireplace, 2 wood stoves, and a layout that offers exceptional bones for a thoughtful renovation. Recent updates include a newer gas furnace, updated septic system, some newer windows, and stainless steel appliances. Workshop space, multiple sheds, and outbuildings add flexibility for hobbyists, storage, or future plans. Connected to city water and set in a peaceful, nature-filled location with access to the Galloping Goose Trail and a major bus route nearby, this is a rare opportunity to restore, update, and create a remarkable country property in the heart of Metchosin.
