Description

Property: This is a newly renovated detached house with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and lots of space to enjoy. It features gorgeous ocean views from the kitchen-dining room or enjoy them from the covered heated, covered deck. It is a short walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. It is fully equipped with a new, modern kitchen, and all of the amenities. It has fantastic ocean views with islands and mountains as the back drop. Walk to the beach where there is a long boardwalk, restaurants and stores. White Rock is a quiet town so good for chilling and the big city is not too far away. It is a suburb of Vancouver and getting to the city is easy by public transit or car. It is about an hour by transit. Getting to UBC is about the same time. Whistler is a 3 hour drive, I go skiing as a day trip, albeit a long day. We have 2 light kayaks for use at the beach or nearby river on a warmer day. I am a retired business executive and my wife is a retired Interior Designer, dancer and mom. We'd love to swap homes to see the world. We are easy going, love, food culture and fitness. We have a real interest in design and have recently completed the renovation of our house. The house reflects this as it is modern and airy. We are particularly interested in a home in London so we can visit with family there.
