About This Property
Two suites, one smart investment — and the upper has just been done right. Fresh quartz counters, new kitchen millwork, renovated bathroom, and built-in storage in the bedroom closets. It's the kind of renovation that photographs well and holds up even better in person. The upper suite is vacant, so you walk in and set the terms — owner-occupy with the mortgage offset downstairs, or rent both and let the numbers work from day one. The lower suite is tenanted and producing income, with Corian counters in the kitchen/bathroom and a layout that's comfortable and practical. Shared laundry sits sensibly between the two suites — the kind of thoughtful layout detail that tenants appreciate and landlords never have to think about twice. Two self-contained legal suites on separate levels means flexibility now and options later. Step outside and the backyard genuinely surprises. South-facing, lane-accessible, and generously sized — this is the kind of outdoor space that's increasingly hard to find in Courtenay. Established fruit trees, serious garden beds already producing, and enough open lawn to actually entertain. The lane access keeps the front streetscape clean and adds everyday convenience. The location earns its keep too. You're a short walk from the independent shops, cafés, and restaurants that make 5th Street one of Courtenay's most walkable and liveable strips. Good schools are close by, the Courtenay River trail system is nearby for year-round use, and when winter arrives, Mt. Washington Alpine Resort is under an hour up the Strathcona Parkway — one of Vancouver Island's best kept secrets for skiing and snowboarding. Comox Valley Airport keeps the mainland connection easy. This is the kind of property that works on multiple levels — literally and financially. Solid renovation, real income, a backyard worth having, and a neighbourhood that continues to attract buyers who actually want to live here. (id:64973)
