Hood Point West is one of Bowen Island’s tightly held waterfront communities, where properties like this rarely come available. Resting above the shoreline of Howe Sound, within a UNESCO Biosphere region, the home is positioned almost perfectly equidistant between the tennis courts and the ocean. Life here is held in a distinguished, timeless way - a morning match, a walk through the forested trails, and drawn-out evenings with the quiet presence of the water and the sense that nothing more is required of the day.The approach is part of the experience. From the detached two-car garage, a wooden bridge over a creek leads you towards the home along a level, tree-lined path offering a calming arrival. It feels like your own forest sanctuary - private, settled, and removed. You are nestled off of a quiet cul-de-sac while remaining close to the heart of the community.Inside, the main living spaces are designed to gather around the view. Clear vertical grain fir windows, doors and trim run throughout capturing warmth and creating fluidity to more than eighteen hundred square feet of ocean view decking outside. A double-sided fireplace creates a natural division between the more intimate living room and the open dining, kitchen, and den areas with each space oriented toward the ever-changing landscape beyond the glass.Upstairs, the primary suite, with a private balcony and a generous five-piece ensuite bathroom offers sanctuary. Also on this level is an open upper-floor space currently used as an office that looks over the main living area and out through double-height windows to the ocean. This space is easily adaptable to whatever is needed: art studio, library, yoga space or additional living space.With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two thousand five hundred fifty-five square feet of living space, this home offers a purposeful layout in a setting that does most of the heavy lifting - esteemed , naturally beautiful ,and deeply connected to water.
