Some homes offer beautiful updates. Others offer an incredible setting. This one gives you both. Backing directly onto a peaceful greenbelt with a private trail leading to Kitsuksis Creek, this North Alberni home offers a daily connection to nature, extensive renovations throughout, and a spacious one-bedroom plus den in-law suite. The main level brings everyone together with an open living, dining, and kitchen area. Large windows fill the spacious living room with natural light, while the fireplace creates a welcoming place to relax. The updated kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry and a large peninsula, and coved ceilings add character throughout. The generous primary bedroom includes dual closets, while two additional bedrooms and a brand-new four-piece bathroom with dual vanity complete the main floor. Downstairs, 8'5" ceilings create an airy feel throughout the self-contained in-law suite, offering a bedroom, den, living room, kitchen, laundry, and covered patio - ideal for extended family or added flexibility. Step outside to an expansive covered deck overlooking the private backyard, where a trail leads directly to Kitsuksis Creek. It's easy to picture evenings around the firepit roasting hot dogs, morning coffee surrounded by nature, or weekends exploring nearby trails.
