4306 Briardale Rd

This Royston main-level-entry rancher sits on a sunny 0. 53-acre R-1 lot with southwest exposure, a full walkout lower level, and the updates already done. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, about 2,970 sq ft finished of roughly 3,734 total.

Skylights brighten the main floor in daylight. Formal living with bay window flows to dining with a built-in nook sized for a hutch or coffee bar. The updated kitchen pairs stainless appliances with a butcher-block island, glass-front pantry, and sunny breakfast nook.

The family room centres on a gas fireplace and opens through sliding glass to a deck with slight ocean views and the distant sound of waves. The primary suite has a bay window, walk-in closet, and three-piece ensuite. Two more bedrooms, a five-piece main bath, dedicated laundry, and a true double garage complete the main level.

The 1,310 sq ft non-conforming walkout in-law suite has eight-foot ceilings, a separate entrance, its own parking, and patio access. Second kitchen, second living room, dining area, fourth bedroom, oversized den that could be a fifth bedroom, and four-piece bath plumbed for a second laundry. Income potential, or ideal for elderly parents or older teens.

Updates include luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, fresh paint, new trim, baseboards, and closet doors, three updated bathrooms, new laundry, and appliances about four years old. Ductless heat pump, 200-amp service, leafless gutter system, fibreglass roof about 11 years, and RV parking. The yard offers room for a future shop or carriage house under R-1, subject to CVRD approval.

Walk to the Royston Seawalk, Gartley Beach, and the E&N railway trail now used for backcountry trail access. Courtenay shopping, schools, and amenities are about five minutes away, so everyday life stays easy without giving up the quiet of Royston.
