**OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1-3PM** Escape the stairs & embrace the space at 6741 Helgesen Rd. This 3-bed, 2-bath rancher offers over 1,500 sqft of effortless, one-level living on a massive 0.22 acre lot. Tucked away in the heart of Sooke’s desirable Broomhill area, this home perfectly balances rural privacy with modern convenience. The open-concept layout creates an airy, inviting flow, anchored by a cozy wood stove for winter nights & a high-efficiency heat pump (with warrantee) for summer cooling. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with its own ensuite, while the additional bedrooms are perfect for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the rectangular, level lot, with updated perimeter drains, is a rare find - a true "West Coast sanctuary" with mature trees & a sun-drenched patio ready for summer BBQs. Whether you’re looking to downsize without compromising on yard space or seeking a move-in-ready family home near world-class hiking & local breweries, this property delivers.
