*Open house Saturday 6/8 1-3pm and Sunday, 6/9 1:30-3:30pm. Rare opportunity to live less than two blocks from Alberta Park, and all the action of the Alberta Arts District, in this vintage Vernon neighborhood home, nestled in the expertly landscaped, natural wildlife habitat gardens, including exotic kiwis, grapes, persimmons and so much more to discover and enjoy. After taking all of this in from the private front porch, step inside for cozyness, comfort and charm in each tastefully modernized room. You'll find a quaint wood stove in the main floor bedroom, which could easily serve as an office or other communal living space instead. Next, you'll see a door leading directly to the back yard that features an expansive back porch and a Koi pond stocked with 6-24" Koi. The garage converted to a potting/utility shed and the little greenhouse make it easy to continue tending this unique collection of bushes, vines and trees that surround this recently painted (inside & out), re-roofed, updated to vinyl windows and brand spankin' new retaining walled property. Let's keep the praise going and mention the updated kitchen, bathroom, main level floors and the newly added skylight at the top of the steps that lead to two bedrooms. One of which has a lovely west facing deck. Pick up where these loving home owners left off and make this special place your own. PS, Walk Score 93, Bike Score 100! [Home Energy Score = 3.
