181 Dogwood Lane

This sweet gem of a home is the absolute antidote: quiet, private, on 2+ parklike acres in a highly sought-after neighbourhood. Located across from some of Salt Spring's finest waterfront homes on a no-thru lane, this contemporary home is all on one level, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, has an open plan layout and boasts features on most buyers' wish lists. Separate studio/workshop/garage offers flexible space for carpentry, hobbies, a home office, or artistic endeavours. Fabulous west-facing porch can be open or sheltered with a high quality overhead retractable screen. Floors are 3/4 inch thick oak hardwood; the roof is long-lasting metal; the windows all wood. Custom kitchen cabinetry is bamboo; counters are honed soapstone. Wood burning fireplace keeps the chill off in cooler months; hardwired for a generator. This property is on municipal water but there's also a well producing 3 gpm. Landscaping is mostly easy care, with native plantings and flowering shrubs.
