2017 custom home, smart features, $400k upgrades
Description
Built in 2017 and extensively upgraded since, this is one of the most unique, feature-packed homes available in Port Alberni.
It’s not a flip. It’s not builder-basic. It’s the kind of house you walk through once and keep thinking about later.
From the moment you step inside, it’s clear this isn’t a standard build. Heated tile entry, a fully integrated smart home system, and a custom floor-to-ceiling ledgerstone fireplace set the tone. Then something unexpected catches your attention… a hidden bookcase door that opens to a private wine storage space.
The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a modern kitchen featuring granite countertops, glass backsplash, smart appliances, and seamless access to a covered deck complete with heater and projection screen, perfect for outdoor movie nights.
Upstairs, the primary suite feels more like a retreat, with a smart fireplace, built-in lounge and vanity space, a custom walk-in closet with motion lighting, and a spa-inspired ensuite with rain shower, heated towel rack, and bidet.
Outside, the upgrades continue. The fully landscaped, low-maintenance yard features water elements, LED lighting, and over 770 sq ft of stamped concrete patio, creating a private outdoor space that’s actually designed to be used. There’s also an insulated cabin-style shed with power, along with an outdoor kitchen and firepit.
What sets this home apart:
• Built in 2017 (newer than most surrounding homes)
• Approximately $400,000 in upgrades and improvements.
• Fully integrated smart home (voice and app controlled).
• Hidden architectural features you won’t find elsewhere.
• Move-in ready with no major projects needed.
Located in a quiet, established, family-friendly neighbourhood just minutes from North Alberni amenities.
