Welcome to this well-maintained 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home in the heart of the University District. Originally a rancher, it was professionally raised to add a full basement, maximizing the space on its long, narrow lot. Inside, the main level features classic oak hardwood floors and a bright kitchen with valley views and access to a large wrap around balcony. With a basement-entry layout, this home is ideal for families, offering proximity to 3 elementary schools, 2 high schools and VIU. The well-kept yard and exterior reflect pride of ownership, while the generous parking space between the home and lane provides room for RVs, boats, or extra vehicles. The home may offer suite potential (buyer to verify). Close to public transit and within a 10 to 15 minute walking distance of University Plaza.
