Set in the heart of Echo, this character-filled home offers something increasingly hard to find: warmth, permanence, and a true connection to the neighbourhood around it. In one of Port Alberni’s most walkable areas, it supports the rhythm of daily life while holding onto the craftsmanship that makes older homes so memorable. Inside, coved ceilings and original fir doors create an immediate sense of character, while updated vinyl windows fill the home with soft natural light. The living room is bright and welcoming, anchored by a fireplace, statement mantle, built-in shelving, and large picture windows that make the space feel open yet comfortable. It’s easy to picture quiet mornings here, evenings by the fire, and everyday moments that simply feel good. The home flows naturally into the dining area and spacious kitchen, where abundant cabinetry and a walk-in pantry make daily routines feel organized and easy. Just beyond, the covered deck extends the living space year-round, whether for morning coffee or a relaxed evening outdoors. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with a full bathroom, a bedroom, and a generous primary suite offering privacy and comfort, complete with closet organizers, privacy glass, and a 3-piece ensuite with walk-in shower and seating. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or workspace. Downstairs, the laundry room with storage, an additional bedroom, and a workshop with sink add even more function. Outside, the partially fenced yard, laneway access, and rear driveway offer room to garden, play, or unwind. A 2021 hot water tank and upgraded perimeter drains add everyday confidence. All of this is set in a neighbourhood where shops, schools, and amenities are close at hand, making it easy to feel at home from day one. This is a home with soul, ready for its next chapter. Reach out any time to arrange a private viewing. (id:62865)
