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 realtor sites, this is actually a 31-year-old, solidly-built modern home. Completed in 1995, it turned the original 700 sq. ft. house into a new, 2450 sq. ft. home.
In the past four years, there have also been over $300,000 worth of upgrades and improvements 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, separate laundry room and 2 existing bedrooms (one with a small adjacent room that can become a walk-in closet or office). There’s also an additional large bed-rec-family room that can be turned into a primary bedroom, parent suite, several smaller bedrooms -- or used as a family or recreation room, office, workshop or storage room. This room also has its own entrance and a large ensuite bathroom.
On the second floor, you will find a 950 sq. ft. ‘great room’ which combines a large open kitchen (with lots of counter space and cupboards), dining room (that can easily seat 12 or more) and living room, with unique hardwood floors throughout. It's a perfect place for family gatherings, because people in all three rooms can 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.
Then walk beyond the gate -- to the back property and another world... a 600' long nature's paradise, with a stream-fed, 40-foot-wide treed pond at the very back.
Whether you use this area as a place to
-
get away from everything,
-
walk in nature and breath 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.
