Tucked into a calm, neighbourly pocket of North Alberni, this thoughtfully maintained rancher strikes a rare balance: peaceful living with everyday convenience just minutes away. From the moment you arrive, the covered front porch invites you to slow down - sip your morning coffee, wave to a neighbour, and settle into a street where people look out for each other. Inside, the layout is designed for ease. A spacious kitchen anchors the heart of the home, while the sunny living room - complete with an electric fireplace and access to the front porch - gives you a cozy place to unwind at the end of the day. Two comfortable bedrooms and a fully updated bathroom keep things simple, while a versatile den with its own entrance adds flexibility, whether you need a home office or a quiet retreat. Step out back, and the space keeps delivering. A fully fenced yard gives plenty of room for pets, play, or gardening, while the detached 16x24 workshop - insulated, wired, and powered with 100 amp service - is ideal for projects, hobbies, or serious storage. Add in a gas range, a BBQ hookup on the deck, and extra space for your RV or boat, and this home’s outdoor offering really starts to shine. You’re also just a short walk to the Kitsuksis walkway, Blair Park, schools, shops, and restaurants: everything you need is close by. Practical updates like a ductless heat pump, custom blinds, and a 200 amp electrical panel round out the picture. The sellers are relocating to be closer to family - and they’re leaving behind a home that’s been loved and well looked after. Now it’s ready for its next chapter. Could it be yours?
