Start your day on the covered front porch, coffee in hand, as the neighbourhood wakes up around you. In a friendly North Alberni setting where life feels a little less rushed, this well cared for rancher offers a wonderful balance of comfort, functionality, and everyday ease. From the welcoming front porch to the flexible interior layout and detached workshop, this is a home that supports real life beautifully. Inside, the layout is simple, bright, and practical. The sunny living room opens directly to the porch and features an electric fireplace that adds warmth and comfort through the seasons. At the centre of the home, the spacious kitchen brings daily life together, whether you're preparing dinner on the natural gas range, sharing conversation over a late lunch, or getting ready for a weekend with family and friends. Two bedrooms and an updated full bathroom offer easy comfort, while the den, with its own entrance, provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or a quiet creative space. Out back, the large fenced yard is ready for gardening, pets, or afternoons spent outdoors. The insulated 16x24 workshop with 100 amp service adds real versatility for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. A BBQ hookup, RV or boat parking, ductless heat pump, custom blinds, and a 200 amp electrical panel all add to the home's thoughtful functionality. Set close to the Kitsuksis walkway, Blair Park, schools, shops, and restaurants, this is a property that keeps you connected while still offering a sense of calm at home. The sellers are relocating to be closer to family, leaving behind a home that has been truly cared for and enjoyed. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing.
