150 Beddis Road $658,500Anchor Point is a place that always catches your eye. You can’t see much from the fence aside from steeply pitched roof-lines and strong dormer windows, but you know something special sits behind the garden gate. Once past it’s gate , the intrigue plays out in nearly 3,300 sq. ft. of classic cape cod design that faces a wonderful water view over Ganges Harbour. Built as fine family home, Anchor Point has been a highly successful B&B for the current owners. The 1.6 acres just above the sailing club are substantially in a natural state, so privacy is ensured though maintenance is minimal. A home of character, quality and charm in a location of absolute convenience.
