An architect’s own home, thoughtfully reimagined for elegant West Coast living. With updates just completed, the owners are returning to Alberta—grandkids are calling! This bright 1,825 sq ft end-unit patio home backs directly onto Morningstar’s 13th hole. Wall-to-wall, full-height windows capture unobstructed fairway views, while towering trees create a peaceful backdrop with occasional visits from birds and deer. The exceptionally well-planned open layout makes entertaining effortless. A skylit kitchen features extensive shaker cabinetry with soft-close hardware, over 70 sq ft of quartz counters, retractable power/charging outlets and new Frigidaire Gallery stainless appliances, including a wine cooler. Patio doors lead to the BBQ and herb garden area. The dining room offers built-in storage, room for a large table and a Nelson Bubble Lamp. A new 36'' Napoleon gas fireplace with herringbone firebox, slate surround and solid maple mantel anchors the family room. Remote-operated blinds span the rear windows. Designer paint throughout, refined LED lighting and remodelled bathrooms add a polished finish. The generous primary bedroom includes a custom walk-in closet and skylit ensuite with a full-size tub and separate shower. Updated laundry cabinetry, a sink and built-in pantry provide practical storage, with space for an office. A newer boiler supplies in-floor heating. Approximately 385 sq ft of patios include a south-facing sitting area, complemented by irrigation. A rare dedicated driveway accommodates 2+ vehicles, while the single garage offers separate golf cart access, a workbench and attic storage. Recent strata upgrades include roof shingles, skylights, fencing, all three patio doors and some windows. An approximately eight-minute walk brings you to the marina, fisherman’s market and ocean. Thoughtful design, fairway views and coastal living come together here.
