This lovely, south-facing 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 986 sqft rancher is centrally located close to the village core, ferry, farmer's market, and for gardeners, the Gabriola Commons allotment plots. With the house set on the back of the property, the mostly wooded lot provides privacy from the road and neighbours, with plenty of parking both in front and behind the house. The open plan makes it the perfect home for gatherings of friends and family, and the custom double skylight brightens up the living room year-round. The woodstove easily heats the whole house, but you have the option of the heat pump, too. While the front deck gets lots of sun in the summer, the trees keep the house cool even on the hottest days. In addition to ample storage (lots of closets!), the laundry room (washer/dryer) includes pantry shelves. The real jewel of the property is the 100sf fully insulated, wired, and heated cabin. Dual aspect windows and a skylight make it bright and charming, perfect for writing, an artist studio, or an additional guest room. Built in 2009, it has 2x6 construction and a gorgeous reclaimed wood floor, plus its own deck. There's also a 100sf storage shed, perfect for bikes, tools, etc., along with a woodshed able to hold 2+ cords of fire wood, a large front deck, and two concrete patios. Gabriola offers a rural lifestyle, a local community, and lots of public-access trails and beaches, all with great connections to the rest of the world. The ferry will take you to Nanaimo in 20 minutes, the new passenger-only Hullo Ferry takes you directly to downtown Vancouver in 90 minutes, and Vancouver International Airport is a short 15 minute seaplane ride from Silva Bay.
