Welcome to 2618 Natalie Rd. Tucked away on a peaceful 0.39-acre lot in the heart of the Warmland, this beautifully maintained 3-bed, 2-bath Shawnigan rancher offers effortless main-level living. A covered walkway from the over-height double garage leads into a spacious foyer and open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. Vaulted ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace highlight the living room, with access to a sunny south-facing covered deck.

The generous primary suite occupies the east wing, featuring a walk-in closet, a 5-piece ensuite, and its own deck access.
