Nature isn't a drive away - it's a trail through your own backyard. This extensively renovated North Alberni home backs onto a greenbelt with a private path to Kitsuksis Creek, plus a spacious one-bedroom-plus-den in-law suite for extended family or added income. The main level offers open living, dining, and kitchen space with coved ceilings, a fireplace, and an updated kitchen featuring shaker-style cabinetry and a large peninsula. A generous primary bedroom with dual closets, two more bedrooms, and a brand-new four-piece bathroom complete the floor. Downstairs, 8'5" ceilings give the self-contained in-law suite an airy feel. Outside, an expansive covered deck overlooks the backyard and creek trail - perfect for firepit evenings and morning coffee. RV/boat parking and an attached garage add convenience. Updates include perimeter drains, thermal windows, furnace, kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and more. Close to schools, shopping, and trails. Call to arrange a private viewing.
