4836 Swanson St — Port Alberni, British Columbia

Full of character and thoughtfully updated, this North Alberni home offers a rare mix of charm, function, and everyday comfort. The east-facing front porch makes a lovely first impression and an even better place to start the day with coffee in the morning sun. Inside, hardwood floors and 9-foot ceilings bring warmth and openness to the main living and dining areas. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring granite countertops, a large butcher block island, and a layout that makes cooking, gathering, and daily life feel easy. The main level includes a spacious primary bedroom with pine floors and windows on both sides, along with a second bedroom and a full bathroom. Downstairs offers excellent flexibility with a den, two additional bedrooms, a sitting area, half bath, laundry, storage, and a cold room. The attached studio, currently used for pottery, adds even more versatility for creative projects, hobbies, or work from home days. Outside, the private front yard is framed by a tall hedge and includes raised garden beds, while laneway access provides off-street parking and added convenience. There is also a storage shed for tools, gardening supplies, or seasonal items. Set close to the grocery store, local restaurants, the Kitsuksis Walkway, and the Quay to Quay Pathway, this is a location that keeps daily errands and weekend outings nicely within reach. Lovingly maintained, this home also features vinyl windows and a ductless heat pump with three heads. The sellers raised their kids here, and now, they’re moving closer to them, leaving this special place for its next chapter. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing. (id:63357)
