The moment you step inside, this home feels like the kind of place where life can stretch out comfortably and naturally. In the heart of Port Alberni, this rare mixed commercial/residential opportunity pairs a warm, light-filled home with the flexibility of C1 Neighbourhood Commercial zoning, creating a property that can grow with you in more ways than one. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area designed for connection. Filled with natural light, this inviting space features a natural gas fireplace, an updated kitchen with a gas stove and granite-topped island, and French doors from the dining area leading to the deck. A full bathroom on the main level adds convenience. Upstairs, the large primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with an updated ensuite featuring a custom walk-in shower and skylight. Two additional bedrooms with multiple skylights, along with a half bath and laundry room, make the upper level both bright and practical. Downstairs, two dens and additional storage offer flexibility for work, hobbies, or guests. With over 2,900 sqft across three levels, the residence includes plenty of impressive skylights, and a newer metal roof. Outside, the property faces Burde Street in a unique mixed residential setting with no other businesses in the immediate surrounding area. Fresh paving, new sidewalks and bike paths, nearby nature trails, and walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants all add to the lifestyle appeal. As an added benefit, the property includes three separate commercial spaces with a combined 1,200 sqft of floor space, offering exceptional live-work potential. Flexible zoning allows for a range of uses, from office or retail to studio, service, or care-based business, and the largest commercial space has access to its own fenced yard area. This is a home with heart, space, and possibility. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing.
