Welcome to 1600 Arbutus Road – a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rancher, ideally positioned on a landscaped half-acre just a short walk from the beach. Blending coastal charm with modern updates, this property offers a rare combination of comfort, functionality, and peace of mind.
The interior is warm and inviting, with a natural gas fireplace anchoring the living room and creating an atmosphere of year-round comfort. The kitchen, fully renovated in 2015 and complemented by newer appliances (2021), provides an efficient and stylish space for everyday living. Flooring was updated in 2010, with new carpets added in 2021, giving the home a fresh and welcoming feel. Energy efficiency is well addressed with a heat pump (2018) and baseboard backup, a new hot water tank (2024), and recently added R40 insulation.
This residence has seen significant upgrades, ensuring lasting value: roof (2017), siding (2014), windows (2011), and a complete septic system replacement in 2022.
Outdoors, the half-acre property is a true highlight. Mature gardens with full irrigation create a private retreat that is both beautiful and easy to maintain. Whether cultivating vegetables, admiring seasonal blooms, or enjoying the open lawn, the grounds provide endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation. A 330 sq. ft. detached shop further enhances the property, ideal for hobbies, projects, or additional storage.
Perfectly situated, the home is just a short stroll to the shoreline, where beachcombing, ocean views, and coastal walks await.
1600 Arbutus Road is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. With thoughtful updates throughout and an exceptional location, it offers the best of island living, ready to be enjoyed from the moment you move in.
