Welcome to White Bear Cottage, a brand new, modern and stunning retreat just steps away from the breathtaking Chesterman Beaches. This two-storey, two bedroom, one bath cottage wraps you in a west coast mix of salvaged, recycled and sustainable materials, with modern accents of cedar, reclaimed wood, concrete floors, steel beams and an outdoor private surf shower. This space creates both a warm and inspiring setting for your enjoyment. The cottage is a fully detached building, perched on the side of the lot, facing south along the edge of the lush forest. The main floor boasts an open concept living room and kitchen area, with a large island for dining and conversation. For those who prefer to dine al fresco, a covered front patio includes a dining table and outdoor seating, creating the perfect setting for warmer days. Inside, you’ll find a cozy and inviting space featuring bedrooms with a minimalist, yet functional setup, including queen beds, reclaimed, live-edge wood wardrobe and bedside tables. Upstairs, you'll enjoy a mezzanine space, to sneak away and work or indulge in some yoga or stretching after your time in the water. The cottage uses a combination of heat pump heating with bedroom baseboards for efficient and sustainable comfort in this well-insulated home. Please note: the vintage style living room couches have been replaced by two grey upholstered couches. 3 night minimum stay for all Canadian Statutory Holidays.
