If you have ever watched TV renovators work their magic on a home and thought “I could do that,” here is an opportunity that you won't want to miss! Fabulously located just blocks away from access to Parksville Beach, this seasoned and spacious 1466 sqft 3 Bed/2 Bath Rancher on its low-maintenance .15 acre is fully-loaded with potential and offers so very much - an easy-care one-level floor plan, skylights and a generous use of glass for brightness, ample parking, and a large and sun-soaked yard just waiting for your ideas!

The prime location adjacent to quiet grassy park on the northern edge of the downtown core is convenient to schools, transit, beautiful parks, and downtown shopping and amenities. Some updating has been done, but this solid house is a diamond- in-the-rough that is ready to be polished into the perfect home for a young family, or a magnificent space for an adventurous couple looking to create their ideal custom retirement home!

The front yard with its pathway chip landscaping offers fabulous potential to create lovely entry gardens. Stepping inside you'll find a skylighted foyer and an open plan Living/Dining Room with newer vinyl plank flooring, a big bay window inviting natural light indoors, complemented by the warmth and ambiance of a natural gas stove with a mantle for displaying your family photos and collectibles.

The generously-sized Dining Room has extra space for your china cabinet, while the adjacent well- planned Kitchen sports a large skylight, a three- year-old stove and dishwasher, ample cabinetry, and a sliding glass door leading out to a spacious covered patio with an enclosed area that could be a nice Sunroom, extending your living space.

The patio looks onto a large and fully-fenced south facing backyard that is a blank canvas waiting to be transformed into your personal paradise. It offers great privacy with hedging and no neighbors on one side, sunny eastern and western exposure, a woodshed, a large garden shed, and various mature fruit trees/bushes including pear and kiwi trees, raspberries and strawberries, along with blueberry bushes.

A Greenhouse and raised garden beds present an opportunity to grow some fresh organic herbs and veggies, and there is ample room to expand with more gardens, a Sundeck, or even a Gazebo with a Hot Tub – the possibilities are endless!

Stepping back inside you'll find a good-sized Primary Bedroom Suite complete with a large walk- in closet and a 4 pc ensuite with a tub-shower combo. There is also a Second Bedroom, a 3 pc Main Bath with a walk-in shower, and a Third Bedroom with patio access that offers a versatile flex space that is perfect for a Den or Home Office. Completing the layout is a separate Laundry Room, and a Garage with room for your car and a workbench.

Some updating has been done including replaced windows installed approx 3-4 years ago, the roof is around 12 years old, and the torch-on roofing beneath the pathway chip landscaping serves as a practical solution, preventing weeds from disrupting the outdoor spaces.

Once you have completed your updates and renovations, you will have a fabulous new home in a fantastic location...but the real adventure is only just beginning! Now you can relax and enjoy your new life in Oceanside with easy access to everything you need and so much more!

It is a quick stroll to the end of Soriel Rd and access to Parksville's beautiful sandy beach, and you are within walking distance of Temple Food Store for quick pick-ups, Wembley Mall with expansive Save-On Foods and Canadian Tire stores, and the skating rinks of Oceanside Place Arena. Additionally, it's an easy walk to Ballenas Secondary School and you are just steps away from the #88 Parksville bus stop, providing easy access to Oceanside Elementary School.

A short drive will take you to downtown Parksville with its array of shops and services, several golf courses, inspiring walking trails, French Creek Harbor for fresh local seafood, and the charming boutique shops of Qualicum Beach.

Embrace the opportunity to purchase, update to your tastes, and savor the perfect location in the heart of 'Canada’s Riviera', where a moderate climate, beautiful beaches, and year-round outdoor activities like boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and golf await your enjoyment!

This inspiring home is being sold "as is where is", and opportunity does not knock any louder than this...don't delay!
