Where character meets flexibility: this South Alberni home sits on a generous 0.24-acre lot and includes a fully self-contained two-bedroom in-law suite with its own entrance, hydro meter, and hot water tank. Whether you're planning for multi-generational living, guests, or added income, this setup gives you options without compromise. With the new R zoning this large lot could be explored for possible subdivision. Upstairs, the main level features thoughtful architectural details like cove ceilings and arched entryways, bringing texture and warmth to the space. A bright, spacious kitchen with a large island becomes the hub of daily life, equally suited to casual chats and weekend cooking sprees. The connected dining room flows onto a deck that overlooks the valley below, perfect for relaxed mornings or sunset views. You’ll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Downstairs, the suite offers two more bedrooms, a second kitchen, living room, and 3-piece bath, light-filled and ready to go. Beyond the interiors, this property invites you outdoors. The backyard is private and practical, framed by mature hedging and dotted with fruit trees (pear, cherry, apple) and berry bushes. A 210 sqft attached indoor workshop adds year-round utility, while laneway access, newer fencing, a double carport, and two driveways make daily life easier. Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street with long-time neighbours and walking distance to schools, grocery stores, and trails, this home offers a lifestyle that’s equal parts community and convenience. When a property offers this much space and versatility, the possibilities are wide open. Let’s talk when you’re ready. (id:51532)
