234 David Road, BOWEN ISLAND

Listed by Mary Lynn Machado Personal Real Estate Corporation and Josh Skuce, Macdonald Realty https://www.buyonbowen.com/listings/v... Welcome to a home with the kind of view that stops you mid-step - sweeping, open, and ever-changing. And somehow, the home itself is just as beautiful. Once featured in Cottage Life Magazine as “a little slice of France”, this is a home designed with European roots that became a destination in itself, with its owners travelling over 8000km each summer just to be here. The arrival sets the tone: a clear cedar foyer that wraps you in warmth, almost sauna-like, before opening into a light-filled, open-concept living space. Fir floors run underfoot, while rich timber details, seen in the exposed beams, staircase and open shelving, bring a quiet, enduring character throughout. The wood-burning stove cultivates warm ambiance and creates a natural place to gather. Also on the main, a serene primary suite opens to a private deck connecting seamlessly to the pottery studio complete with its own wood stove, kiln, sleeping loft and 3-piece bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom - ideal for family or guests. Below, a full-height workshop with extensive storage adds versatility for makers, hobbyists, or those needing room to spread out. Outdoor living is just as compelling with over 700 sf of deck space. Positioned one lot back from the water, with no home in front to interrupt the view, it lives like true waterfront. The sunny front deck takes precedence for taking in the view, whether it be for whale watching, the start of the annual Round Bowen sailboat race, or watching the moon rise over the North Shore mountains. The .5 acre landscape is equally thoughtful: a deer-resistant mature garden interwoven with trails invites quiet exploration, while a covered carport adds everyday practicality. This is more than a home - it’s a master class in West-Coast/European design that people cross continents to return to. 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 2356 sf • 530sf studio • 0.5 acres • built in 2010
