This thoughtfully updated patio home offers a quiet, mature-living experience in one of Courtenay’s most walkable and well-connected neighbourhoods. Set in a 55+ community just minutes from the heart of downtown, it’s a perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and easy-care living—all on one level. For those who love to travel or spend winters away, the “lock-and-leave” lifestyle offered here makes things simple. Over the past three years, the home has seen meaningful updates that go well beyond what’s visible in the photos. A dedicated EV charging system has been added, offering forward-thinking utility for electric vehicle owners. A new high-efficiency heat pump provides both cozy warmth in the winter and cooling relief during the summer months. Inside, both bathrooms have been completely redone with modern finishes, and the kitchen has been refreshed to give the main living space a contemporary, clean-lined feel. The location is what truly sets this property apart. A short walk brings you into downtown Courtenay, where you’ll find a vibrant mix of restaurants, locally-owned shops, cafés, and boutique grocers. Whether you’re picking up a few things at Edible Island, grabbing a coffee at Mudsharks, or catching a show at the Sid Williams Theatre, everything you need is right nearby. And for the winter enthusiast, Mt. Washington is an easy drive away for skiing, snowshoeing, or simply enjoying the alpine views. For those looking to downsize without compromising walkability or comfort, this home quietly checks all the boxes. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if fundamental to the purchaser.
