The Action: There were just 10 showings of this ranch-style bungalow in Sechelt, which is about two hours north of Vancouver.
What They Got: The sellers of this 1,155-square-foot house had it custom built by a local company on a corner lot they purchased for $67,000 six years ago.
The entertaining area is fairly open concept with vaulted, skylit ceilings, a gas fireplace in the corner of the living area and sliding doors to the south-facing yard off the dining space, plus a raised breakfast bar to provide some separation from the kitchen.
The private sleeping quarters include three bedrooms, including one with access to one of two bathrooms.
Notable finishes and features include laminate floors, main-floor laundry facilities, a surround-sound system and smart wiring for the Internet.
Tall trees bordering the property enhances its rural feel, but it is still within a short distance of schools, golf courses and marinas, as well as local shops and restaurants.
The Agent's Take: "The home is … close to the downtown core of Sechelt and has been maintained in an 'as new' condition by the original owners," agent Bruce Lasuta says.
