Ocean-View Bowen Island Home: Year-Round Outdoor Entertaining with Expansive Decks
Bowen Island Home: Expansive Decks for Year-Round Entertaining

A stunning four-bedroom residence on Bowen Island offers unparalleled year-round outdoor entertaining with 2,400 square feet of covered decks and patios. Located in the quiet Queen Charlotte Heights subdivision, this 5,349-square-foot custom-built home features a dramatic peaked timber frame roof and 180-degree views of Howe Sound, coastal mountains, and the mainland.

Outdoor Living at Its Finest

The expansive main floor deck includes a built-in fireplace, two Bromic built-in heaters, a built-in barbecue, bar fridge, counter space, and cupboards, making it ideal for entertaining in any season. The lower-level flagstone patio hosts a hot tub and fire pit, while the property also offers a grassy area and a three-car garage.

Interior Highlights

Inside, the home boasts 24-foot timber frame cathedral ceilings and an accordion-style door that seamlessly connects the kitchen and dining room to the deck. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Thermador appliances, a Wolf built-in espresso/coffee unit, a wine fridge, and a reclaimed fir six-seat dining table that remains with the house. Additional furnishings, such as a live-edge monkeypod dining table, are negotiable.

Engineered hickory flooring with radiant heating runs throughout the home. The living room includes a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a built-in TV. The primary bedroom offers ocean views, a patio, a propane fireplace, and an ensuite with a large shower, soaker tub, double sinks, and a walk-in closet.

Unique Design Elements

A standout feature is the main floor powder room, which includes a copper sink and a floor-to-ceiling slate wall that continues up the stairwell to a loft area with a bedroom and three-piece bathroom. The games room, featuring a wet bar, is flanked by two brick walls, one with a wood-burning fireplace. All other fireplaces are propane, as Bowen Island lacks natural gas.

Listing agent Barry Thomas of Macdonald Realty notes that the home appeals to empty nesters seeking low-maintenance living. “It’s primarily about the living space and outdoor decks,” he says. “You can enjoy entertaining without being a slave to gardening.” The property is listed for sale, offering a unique opportunity for luxurious, low-maintenance island living.
