Description

Very cute character home overlooking the bustling Ucluelet Inlet, offered together w/ an adjacent bare lot creating additional space and future potential. Life here unfolds at a relaxed coastal pace. Mornings often begin at the kitchen table w/ coffee while watching the inlet come alive as eagles wake up and hunt for breakfast. Throughout the day you may see sea lions moving through the harbour w/ the changing tides, and every now and then even a family of orcas passing through the inlet. It is a setting that constantly reminds you that you are living on the wild edge of the Pacific. Inside, the home offers plenty of character w/ original hardwood floors, unique wood cabinetry w/ thoughtful built-in details, and a spacious living room anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove. The home has a solid feel and leaves room for a new owner to bring updates and their own style over time. Just off the back door is a bright private covered sunroom that allows you to enjoy the outdoors year-round while staying warm and dry. This sunny space captures southwest exposure overlooking the terraced yard and can hold warmth from the daytime sun, making evenings comfortable even when the coastal air cools. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom where the vanity offers a naturally lit view into the inlet. The lower level adds flexibility w/ a large workshop, 4th bedroom, and additional bathroom area, accessed through the main home or separate front and back entrances. The additional lot offers possibilities for expanded yard space, future building, or long-term investment. Whether you choose to enjoy the home as it is, update it over time, or explore the possibilities the extra lot provides, this property offers flexibility in a location that rarely becomes available. A place to slow down, watch the tides move through the inlet, and experience everyday life on the west coast. Call for more details at 250 730 5444 or Email: krista@kristaprior.com (id:63159)

Amenities

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
