Island Retreat with Studio, Updates & Walk-to-Village Convenience This charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rancher with a detached 120 sq ft studio is an ideal recreational getaway or full-time island home. Centrally located on Gabriola, the property offers both privacy and convenience—just a 10-15 minute walk to the Village core, shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Nanaimo. The home features a bright, open layout with a spacious kitchen, dining room, and a large 4 foot sliding door that opens onto large decks, including a newly replaced side deck—perfect for summer entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Recent upgrades such as updated windows and a rebuilt water system provide comfort and peace of mind, while a metal roof, Hardie plank siding, full foundation, and UV light/filters speak to the home’s durability. Inside, easy-care laminate floors and a cozy woodstove add to the island charm. The detached studio offers flexible space for a home office, hobbies, or creative pursuits. The level lot features a sunny clearing around the home, with trees along the perimeter for added privacy. Maintenance items such as septic pumping was completed 3 years ago and a woodstove inspection, roof and gutter cleaning and cistern cleaning were completed in 2025, making this property move-in ready. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat, a seasonal escape, or a year-round residence, this home delivers relaxed island living with the convenience of being close to everything. Just a 25-minute ferry ride connects you to Nanaimo, making access easy while keeping the island lifestyle within reach. (id:44056)
