Beach Cottage Transformed: Gardens by the Sea
This renovated and expanded 1949 beach house blends character and modern comfort, following a down-to-the-studs renovation and second-storey addition completed between 2007 and 2010. With a main-level primary suite and mostly single-level living, the home offers oak floors, vaulted ceilings with skylights, and a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances. The main-level primary bedroom includes a spa-inspired ensuite with radiant heated floors and glass shower. An office or bonus room and powder room complete the main floor. The upper-level addition provides a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, ensuite bath, and balcony—ideal for guests or a second primary suite.
Outdoors, enjoy slate patios, manicured cedar hedges (including a whale topiary), mature magnolia, camellia, and Japanese maple plantings, plus deer-fenced yards. Heat-pump heating/cooling, EV charger wiring, hot water on demand, and a gas fireplace add comfort.
Located in Fairfield East on the Ross Bay side of St. Charles, steps to the beach, Fairfield Plaza, and Cook Street Village.
