Welcome to 1600 Arbutus Drive – 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 a few 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.
