About 3255 Folkestone Dr
High above Departure Bay is the super-desirable Edgewood community, much loved for its tidy aesthetic and panoramic views. Most units are attached townhomes with no yards, but this home is FULLY DETACHED w/ a large private BACK YARD (low-maintenance irrigated gardens and rockwork). There are BIG VIEWS to the north and south. The lower floor is perfect for guests with a quiet bedroom and 4-pc bathroom, plus the den/family room with sliding door to a covered patio. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a big 5-pc ensuite w/ soaker tub; the bright living area has a cozy gas fireplace; the ergonomic kitchen overlooks the forests of Linley Valley. Outside are sitting areas for each time of day incl. a sunset viewpoint looking west to Mt Arrowsmith. The building envelope is fully maintained by the strata, and your water/sewer costs are covered along w/ building insurance. Priced below assessment. Edgewood is 55+ but a spouse can be younger.
