This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom West Coast-style home is situated in one of the most desirable locations on the island, providing panoramic ocean views, walkable beach access, and the perfect balance of comfort, upgrades, and flexibility. The 1,562 sq ft home features an open-concept upper level with vaulted ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light and frame the view. Recent upgrades include a heat pump with air conditioning, newer septic and water systems, a modern kitchen, updated woodstoves, and a newly built deck, stairs, and railings. Everything has been carefully maintained and improved, making this a move-in-ready property with long-term value. On the lower level, you'll find a renovated and spacious family room, bathroom, and rec room with a separate entrance. Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, hobbyist, or looking for future suite potential (buyer to verify), the 742 s/f studio space adds versatility to your investment. Located just a short drive from the ferry terminal, the Gabriola Village core, local marinas, and artisanal vendors, this home is perfectly positioned for both weekend retreats and year-round island living. Whether you're entertaining guests on the deck, launching a paddleboard from the nearby beach, or simply enjoying the peace that comes with coastal simplicity—255 Ricardo Rd offers a rare opportunity to embrace the island dream in a location that rarely becomes available.
