This custom-designed and renovated character home with a separate studio offers charm, lifestyle, and flexibility in the heart of Chemainus—famous for its arts, murals, and seaside beauty. The quality-built main home is designed for easy-care living, while the detached studio is ideal for guests or a home-based business. With C2 zoning, the studio opens possibilities for an art space, wellness practice, office, or creative workshop—just steps from the downtown core. Landscaped with ornamental gardens, raised veggie beds, greenhouse, plum tree, and raspberry patch, the property is a gardener’s delight. Three decks provide spaces for entertaining or relaxation overlooking the harbor and Waterwheel Park. Parking includes space for four vehicles, with secured storage for a boat or RV. Only 2½ blocks to Kin Beach and the boat ramp, and walking distance to shops, restaurants, and galleries. Two thoughtfully crafted homes make this a truly unique property.
