House For Sale in:
Terrace, BC

Privacy and Space, minutes from downtown in the heart of Thornhill.

Tucked away at the end of the road, this quiet 7 acre sanctuary checks many boxes, and offers buyers the opportunity to try out semi-rural living (think gardens and animals or just trees and firewood) while in town and close to everything. Or, increase density for family or rental income while enjoying a beautiful home in a park-like setting.

The character home has an amazing main floor layout bathed in natural light. Easy care vinyl plank flooring, wood trim and abundant windows blend the large addition into the original home. The family room has built-in cabinetry and is nestled in between the kitchen and the living room. The kitchen has been updated over the years with quality appliances and has a classic, functional layout at the heart of the home. There is a dining room/nook that overlooks the forest out back and captures the morning light nicely. An enclosed porch for storage and a covered deck with wood fired hot tub are both conveniently accessed off the kitchen area. There is a convenient side entrance for grabbing garbage or recycling.

The 470 sf MAIN FLOOR master suite has a large walk-in closet plus an office or potential additional in-home spa utility?. The main floor bathroom has a large walk-in acrylic shower and plenty of useful storage. There is a flexible alcove with adjustable open linen storage or pantry space off the kitchen.

Upstairs is one large bedroom with vaulted ceilings, the 3rd true bedroom plus a separate toy closet/storage/nook across from the huge bathroom. The large acrylic tub is makes this a real fun space for kids and visitors! The large vanity has the storage to organize them all.

The walkout basement is super functional with a mix of built-in shelving in the mudroom/workshop, a domestic suite that includes a pantry room, laundry room, flex space and powder room. There is a wide open recreational room, and a secondary storage/pantry room. The porches upstairs create a functional carport and utility area downstairs, great for working on vehicles, loading or unloading in weather or tinkering, not to mention wood management in the winter with firewood storage near the door.

The house is heated with a mix of electric heat, a natural gas fired furnace and a BLAZE KING wood stove. There are numerous firewood shelters around the property, stocked with cured wood for a few seasons.

While not a 100% level acreage, the property does have a flat 2+ acres of gardens, greenhouse, driveways, parking and treed areas at the north west portion of the property, leading to the house at the back corner. The remainder of the property is sloped towards Thornhill Creek which runs along the east side of the property. There are a couple loops around the acreage of walking or utv trails, as well as a few cozy firepit options. The sloped area offers a lot of adventurous ideas to use the property (or just a buffer of height differences to neighbors) while the flat upper homestead area has more than enough room for growing food, expanding uses or just soaking in the nature among the trees.

The garden area has raised beds, a small greenhouse as well as established plum trees, 6 varieties of apple trees, 2 Haskap (honey) berry bushes, and a mature blueberry bush on one side of the driveway and a second berry area that has a raspberry patch, 12 more blueberry bushes of varying age and the most amazing patch of huckleberries, of which there are a few thickets throughout the property. There is also plenty of birch trees to tap in early spring for birch water or the beginnings of your own tree syrup!

The property offers A LOT of opportunity to accommodate your ideas. There have been pigs raised in the past, chickens and eggs underway and the size of the acreage allows for multiple horses or other large animals to be kept here! There is an excellent flat area for expanding either garden/greenhouse or animal pens, and the bonus is the firewood that would come from clearing that part of the property. The 850sf workshop has its own separate driveway and gate off the road, plus 2 hydro meters for extra workshop utility.
