A good family home on a pretty lot on a quiet street in a family neighbourhood. The back yard is fenced and private with trees and shrubbery that make you almost forget that you're in town. The house has been freshly painted with the addition of a nanny suite. A large, partly finished room is currently used as a bedroom but could have many uses from office to rec.room. This space was hidden when the owners purchased the home and was accessible only by a trap door. The recent addition of a deck at the front makes a great place for dining and relaxing in the shade of a pretty dogwood. A Vermont Casting woodstove keeps everyone cosy in winter The floor plan is very versatile and could be adapted for whatever the needs of your family. There is a small neighbourhood park close by and the Regional Hospital, schools and bus route are not far away. The Cowichan Valley has a sub Mediterranean climate and a growing reputation for producing fine wine. Golf, boating, fishing, hiking, fine dining, symphonies, operas, various concerts, galleries and breathtaking scenery are just some of the many recreational and cultural activities to be enjoyed. Vancouver Island has, several times, been voted the Best Temperate Island by Traveller's Magazine. People who live here already know that. Duncan has a community centre with pool, ice rink, library, and fitness facilities. There is a farmer's market every Saturday, farm gate sales on the honour system are everywhere - with eggs, fresh fruit, plants, flowers, etc. You can float down the river on a tube, kayak on the ocean, water ski on Cowichan or Shawnigan Lakes. Winter skiing is only 2 hours away and golf is year round. All amenities are here and it is still a relatively short drive to Victoria or Nanaimo, all ferries and airports. This home puts you right in the middle of one of the best places in the world to live.
