Welcome to 789 3rd Street, a beautiful 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home in Courtenay's beloved Old Orchard neighbourhood. Set on a quiet street just steps from downtown, this property offers exceptional walkability to 5th Street shopping, cafes, restaurants, parks, and the Puntledge River (walkability score 83). The sunny front yard is ideal for a full food garden, while the shaded backyard and deck create a peaceful summer retreat with natural passive cooling. Sitting on a generous 0.4-acre lot, there is room to garden, gather, or explore future development potential. Inside, you'll find fir flooring, a gas fireplace, updated plumbing, a high-end heat pump, hot water on demand, and a bright, functional layout. The lower level has a separate entrance and is well suited for an easy suite conversion. Add in great neighbours, a strong community feel, and Old Orchard's growing neighbourhood events, and this is a rare blend of beauty, lifestyle, and opportunity.
