2 Bed Single Family Detached in Duncan

Description

5041 Paton Road is a unique walk-on waterfront retreat offering the best of Vancouver Island living. Situated on a private 0.20-acre lot at the end of a quiet dead-end road in Ladysmith, this property combines natural beauty, thoughtful updates, and a peaceful setting mins to marinas, restaurants, shopping, ferries, and the airport. Built in 1965, this 2-bed, 1-bath home has been extensively improved. The bright sunroom was converted into a second bedroom with direct access to the deck and would also make an ideal home office or creative space. Main level has an updated kitchen and bathroom, local alder hardwood floors, and newer windows, doors, and blinds. Recent updates include newer kitchen appliances, a new fence, and freshly sanded and stained decks. Lower level has exterior access to workshop and storage areas, plus a bonus room for a den, office, or guest accommodation. Property history includes a miniature railway that once delighted neighborhood children. Outside is where this property truly shines. Wander through the beautifully landscaped terraced gardens with hand-built rock walls and pathways leading to the wood-fired sauna. Relax around the firepit, entertain on the lower waterfront deck, or enjoy morning coffee while taking in the coastal scenery. A detached storage shed has space for hobbies and gear. Wildlife includes otters, eagles, herons, oyster catchers, seals, quail, and songbirds that frequent the shoreline. Other updates: upgraded heating, perimeter drainage, basement waterproofing, underground sprinklers, and a newer hot water tank. Whether searching for a full-time residence or the perfect Island getaway, 5041 Paton Road offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the relaxed coastal lifestyle Vancouver Island is famous for.
