There is one four bedroom rancher for sale in the City of Port Alberni, and this is it. Built in 1988, custom, two owners since. Most of Port Alberni was built of two storey homes, here, everything you use in a day sits on one floor. That's rare and important. It sits stately on 0.42 of an acre inside city limits, up on a rise behind three mature firs. Land like this in town rarely comes up, and this one is finished - hard landscaping built, fencing done, privacy trees grown. A skylit entry opens to a living room with a tile-faced fireplace and a separate dining room. The kitchen has its own skylight and spills into a breakfast nook wrapped in bay windows facing the stone wall and the trees - the spot that quietly becomes where you eat every meal. The family room, with a wood stove on a brick hearth, slides open onto a large exposed aggregate patio. The primary has a walk-in closet and three piece ensuite, three more bedrooms and a four piece main down the hall; the fourth makes an obvious office. Tiled laundry runs through to the double garage. Heat pump for efficient heating and cooling, wood stove for the nights the power goes out. The backyard is the part people remember. Fully fenced in six foot cedar, built on two levels - patio and lawn off the family room, an upper terrace above a stone retaining wall. The evergreens and deciduous trees along the back boundary were planted for privacy and have grown into the job. The hot tub sits under a gazebo behind its own cedar screen. Maintained accordingly: luxury vinyl plank and hot water tank in 2025, fresh paint inside and out, vinyl thermal windows, crawl space for storage. Nothing here is waiting for you to fix. Room to build as well - anyone considering a subdivision or second dwelling for family should confirm options with the City. Quiet street, nothing passes through it. Forest trails two blocks away. Assessed at $798,000. Offered at $674,900. (id:27476)
