221 Blairgowrie Pl Tucked into one of Departure Bay's most loved pockets, this fully renovated home is the kind of place you walk into and feel your shoulders drop. The garden frames an in-ground pool, a separate pool house with its own changing room, and quiet corners set up for grilling, reading, or losing a Saturday afternoon to the sun. 10, 000 square feet of land has been loved into shape, with plenty of room left for whatever you want to plant next. Inside, the same intention carries through. Three fireplaces anchor the home, one of them in the primary bedroom, where a private deck looks out over the water and the pool below. The ensuite feels like a hotel you never want to leave: heated floors beneath designer tile, a generous walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Down the hall, two more generous bedrooms with built-in closets share a four piece bath, and the laundry room was given the same care as the rest of the home. The kitchen really shows off. A six burner gas range sits beneath a pot filler. Quartz runs across a 7ft island, with the same stone climbing the wall behind the cooktop. Custom cabinetry, top tier appliances, and a layout that opens to a breakfast nook with views into the garden. The dining room sits just beyond, leading into a great room with the soft, easy quality of a home meant for staying in. This was the designer's personal residence, renovated for herself after twenty five years in the business. Engineered hardwood runs throughout. On demand hot water, a forced air gas furnace paired with a heat pump, and 200 amp service. A mudroom sits at the entry from the double garage, with its own utility sink. Nearly 2, 400 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, main level entry layout. Departure Bay Beach, the hospital, Nanaimo Golf Club, the ferries, schools, shopping, and a roster of restaurants are all minutes away. Reach out when you are ready to see it in person.
