Perched on a forested, south-west facing ridge, this MOVE-IN-READY, recently renovated English Cottage at the North end of Galiano Island blends charm with modern comfort. The fire-smart landscape enhances this 1500+ sq ft, 2-bedroom rancher w/basement, which features SW wrap-around decks, lower deck perfect for a hot tub, and a new roof. Interiors are refreshed with a modernized bathroom, new flooring, lots of storage, and the home's "bones" strengthened with new electrical panel suitable for a hard wired generator, enhanced plumbing, new main supports, energy-efficient windows, and improved attic insulation. A newly added carport, practical workshop, and wood shed complement the property's upgrades.
