Move-In Ready University District Gem with Investment Potential! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends vintage character with modern comfort on a nearly 9,000 sqft COR1-zoned lot—ideal for first-time buyers, students, or investors. Offering quick possession, it's perfect as a student rental, family home, or long-term holding with future development potential. The bright main level features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, cozy living room, and updated kitchen with classic 1950s details. Downstairs adds a spacious bedroom or office, updated bath, and a partially finished basement with separate access—possible Air B&B (buyer to verify). Recent upgrades include vinyl windows, a high-efficiency gas furnace (2022), hot water tank (2025), fence, and dishwasher (2025). Enjoy Mount Benson views from the west-facing yard with alley access for parking or future carriage home. Close to VIU, parks, transit, and shopping—an exceptional opportunity in a growing neighbourhood.
