220 IRENE ROAD, Quadra Island, British Columbia V0P1N0

3 bedroom home & workshop on peaceful 5.16 acres on the south end of Quadra Island! Conveniently located on a quiet, dead-end road 6.5 km from the Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal & 2.5 km from the Lighthouse & beach, the 1,520 sq ft rancher was thoughtfully planned & professionally built by reputable builders on the island, J. Toelle Construction Ltd. The home features energy efficient ICF construction & follows concepts of passive design, keeping the house cool in summer & warm in winter. The lush gardens have been planned according to FireSmart guidelines. Serviced by a reliable drilled well & clad in low maintenance steel siding, the home has efficient in-floor radiant heating & clean-burning soapstone woodstove. There are 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms (laundry room/3pc bathroom with shower & 3pc bathroom with air jet bathtub with automatic drying cycle). The home features fir & maple cabinetry & a practical floor plan with large windows overlooking the gardens. There are wide covered concrete patios on 3 sides of the home & a covered dog run with entrance into the mudroom/dog grooming room. Next to the house sits the well-insulated 384 sq ft accessory building with attached chicken coop & goat house (currently unoccupied), a 3pc bathroom, a 7’ automatic overhead door & 3 exterior steel doors. Although never used, a 700 gal. roof collection cistern is set up next to the building. 3 storage sheds, a duck house & an additional goat house add practicality to life on the acreage. The property is beautifully landscaped with 3 acres cleared/fenced & 2 acres in unfenced forest. Extensive gardens contain a variety of ornamental & food plantings. All roof/perimeter water from the buildings tie into 3 rain gardens & 2 seasonal ponds. The ground mounted grid-tied solar system provides much of the power to the property while a very quiet gas generator provides easy back up power in the event of an outage. Come and enjoy the serenity of Quadra Island living on the sunny south end! (id:39198)
