OLD ORCHARD CUTIE! Located in Courtenay’s highly sought-after Old Orchard neighbourhood, this charming 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home blends original character with thoughtful updates. Inside, the approximately 950 sq ft layout feels bright and welcoming, with large windows, an abundance of natural light and beautiful original fir floors in the living room. The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with modern cabinetry, countertops, tiled backsplash, sink and hardware, while an enlarged window brings in even more light. The laundry area integrates nicely with the rear entry, leading to a covered back deck. Updated windows and a heat pump add comfort and efficiency. Outside, the fully fenced 0.12-acre yard offers plenty of room to garden, relax and enjoy the privacy created by mature vegetation and fruit trees. A garage and workshop add valuable storage and utility. Rear-lane access also provides flexibility for a potential carriage house or future redevelopment, subject to local bylaws.

From here, it’s an easy walk to downtown Courtenay, Puntledge River Park and both levels of schools.
