Bright, updated, and full of heart, this character home in North Alberni blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates, offering a warm welcome from the moment you step onto the east-facing porch. Morning coffee has never tasted better than when sipped here as the sun rises over the treetops. Inside, the home flows with ease and openness. Hardwood floors span the spacious living and dining areas, grounded by 9’ ceilings that enhance the sense of space. The kitchen is the heart of the home - anchored by a large butcher block island, framed by granite countertops, and designed to invite conversation and connection. Whether prepping meals or chatting with friends, this space feels like home. The main level offers a large primary bedroom with beautiful pine floors and cross-light from windows on both sides, a second bedroom, and a full bathroom. Downstairs is a versatile retreat with a den, two additional bedrooms, a cozy sitting area, half bath, laundry, storage, and a cool, quiet cold room. A standout feature is the attached studio - currently used for pottery - a peaceful and inspiring space to create or unwind. Outdoors, you’ll find a private front yard with raised garden beds and a tall hedge, laneway access with off-street parking, and a storage shed for tools and toys. This location is wonderfully convenient: within walking distance of the grocery store, local restaurants, the Kitsuksis Walkway, and the Quay to Quay Pathway. Lovingly maintained and updated with vinyl windows, a ductless heat pump with three heads, and quality materials throughout, this home has supported years of family memories. The sellers raised their kids here, and now, they’re moving closer to them, leaving this special place for its next chapter. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing.
