Overview
Meet Your Home
and Property
Want to escape to the beauty & quiet of the countryside – yet still be close to urban life? This country-farm home could be just what you are looking for...
Set on 4.56 acres in “rural Surrey”, this property is close to schools, major stores, restaurants, supermarkets, an aquatic centre and more, and a short drive away from White Rock, urban Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley.
It also has three main features you will want to consider: the house, the view and the land.
The House
Described as "76 years old" on City/Provincial assessment rolls (and some Realtor sites), this is actually a 31-year-old modern home. Completed in 1995, it turned the original 700 sq. ft. house on this property into a new, 2450 sq. ft. home.
In the past four years, there have also been over $300,000 worth of improvements + upgrades made to it, including:
-
two stairlifts (exterior & interior) for family/friends who have difficulty with stairs (e.g. due to age or health/mobility challenges);
-
a backup generator (for power outages in this area) and 200-watt electrical system;
-
a stream-fed water system with new pump and filtration equipment;
-
a new covered front porch, plus upgrades to the outdoor stairway & second-floor deck, a partial new roof, new exterior paint job, and new doors throughout;
-
two new bathrooms (one with a steam shower and heated floor).
The first/lower floor features a large open entryway and vestibule, with a separate laundry-pantry-furnace room off the main hall. Walking to the right, you will find a short hall to the newly renovated bathroom and two existing bedrooms. Adjacent to the larger bedroom is a small "flex" room, which can be turned into a small bedroom, walk-in closet or office. This room also has its own entrance from the outside.
To the left, off the main hall, is the largest room on the first floor: the bed-recreation-family room. This can be turned into a primary bedroom, parent suite, or several smaller bedrooms -- or used as a combination family room, recreation room, office, workshop or storage area. This room also has a large ensuite bathroom (complete with heated floor and large steam shower), and a separate entrance from the outside.
On the second floor, you will find a 950 sq. ft. ‘great room’ which combines a large open living room, kitchen (with lots of counter space and cupboards) and dining room (that can easily seat 12 or more), all with unique hardwood floors throughout. It's a perfect place for family gatherings, because people in all three rooms can talk and stay connected.
Surrounded by windows, this upper floor also gives you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful views of western sunsets, the north shore mountains, and the farms & nature surrounding this home. Or you can sit outside on the ~300 sq. ft. deck (just off the living room), and enjoy the views and the shade on hot summer days.
The Land
This property is over 260 feet wide and 760 feet long, so there is also lots of land to enjoy. This includes:
-
a large front yard to sit in, gather or play
-
lots of room for parking
-
the sound of a small stream just behind the house (and room to build a deck over the stream)
-
a large fenced area which can be cleared for animals or recreation.
Now walk beyond the gate to the back property, and another world: a 600-foot-long nature's paradise, with a stream-fed, 40-foot-wide treed pond at the very back.
Whether you use this back property as a place to
-
get away from everything,
-
walk in nature and breathe-in the wide-open spaces,
-
create your own cleared pond & recreation area, or
-
build your own dream home or farm,
it is an opportunity waiting to be enjoyed.
Before you buy anything else, we hope you'll come and take a look at this unique place.
A lovely house to live in for years to come --- plus a property with lots of space to build your own new dream home, or farm, if that’s what your heart desires.
It’s a way to live in the midst of the country... yet right on the edge of the growing city.
