Description

Perched on a beautifully landscaped 0.29-acre lot, this cherished family home captures panoramic views of the Beaufort Mountains, Comox Glacier and the lights of the city below. Offered as an estate sale, this well-loved property has been carefully maintained over the years and is ready for a new family to create lasting memories and traditions of their own. With just under 2,000 sq. ft. of living space, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with ensuite and walk-in closet. The main living area is thoughtfully positioned upstairs to take full advantage of the spectacular views from the living room, dining room and kitchen. Large windows invite natural light inside, while the cozy fireplace creates a warm gathering place for family and friends. The bright kitchen offers excellent functionality and easy access to outdoor living spaces, making entertaining a pleasure. Step outside to enjoy the mature gardens, expansive yard and an impressive collection of fruit trees including pears, plums and several varieties of apples. The fully fenced property provides plenty of room for children, pets and gardeners alike. Downstairs, the flexible layout includes a family room, bedroom, bathroom and laundry area with in-law suite potential. The large lot may also offer future secondary suite development potential, providing options for extended family or additional income opportunities. Over the years, updates have included a metal roof, heat pump, furnace, insulation and windows, contributing to the home's comfort and efficiency. Conveniently located close to schools, shopping, recreation, Costco and the North Island Hospital, this is a rare opportunity to own a view property with space, character and future possibilities in one of the Comox Valley's most desirable locations.

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.
