Opportunities like this don't come along every day. If you've been searching for an affordable detached home with extra space and flexibility, 479 Hillcrest Avenue deserves a closer look. Set on a 6500 sq. ft. lot with convenient laneway access, this property offers much more than a typical one bedroom home. The main residence is cute, comfortable and easy to maintain, making it an excellent fit for first time buyers, single folks or downsizers looking to simplify without giving up the benefits of owning a detached home. Inside you'll find a bright living room with a gas fireplace, a separate dining area, functional kitchen, bedroom and an enclosed sunroom that provides valuable additional living space throughout the year. Updated windows help keep the home bright and inviting while improving overall comfort. What truly sets this property apart is the detached auxiliary building at the rear of the lot. Fully serviced with power, water and plumbing, it includes a kitchen and full bathroom! Whether you're looking for room for visiting family, a private workspace, hobby space, a personal retreat or simply additional room beyond the main home, you'll appreciate the flexibility this separate building provides. The outdoor space is equally appealing. Established gardens and mature landscaping create a peaceful setting with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Spend your afternoons tending to the garden, relaxing with a book or entertaining friends in your own private backyard. Located just minutes from Vancouver Island University, shopping, restaurants, recreation facilities and transit routes, this home combines convenience with character and versatility. Finding a detached property with a serviced auxiliary building, beautiful outdoor space and this level of flexibility at an accessible price point is pretty rare. For more information or to arrange a private viewing, contact Chris Carter with Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty. (id:31684)
