Description

Exclusive Artist's Oceanfront Retreat! Located in one of Pender Island's most desirable areas, this very private, 5 acre, West facing waterfront is truly a hidden paradise. Owned for many years by the family of the late Henry George Glyde (June 18, 1906 – March 31, 1998), a renowned Canadian painter and art educator, this property was once the inspiring setting for many of his paintings. A separate, approximately 200 sq ft studio on the property still echoes traces of his masterful work. Several gently winding pathways lead to the ocean's edge, where the sunsets are breathtaking. BC Assessment dates the home as 1943 and it has been very well maintained for its age. The main level is 2 BR, 1BA and approximately 804 square feet. The lower floor has a large laundry area, plus additional storage. It is quietly calling to someone with a creative passion, who appreciates the historical significance of this inspiring property.
