Welcome to 862 Ballenas Road West, in the dreamlike community of San Pareil in Parksville. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom split-level home is a true time capsule. Well loved by the same family for nearly 40 years. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an investor, this property has plenty of potential. The flexible floor plan offers the option to easily convert the home into a 3-bed, 2-bath on the main and upper floors with a 1-bedroom suite on the lower level (with bathroom rough-ins already in place). Key updates are already taken care of: home fully replumbed in 2025, new hot water tank in 2023, septic system replaced in 2015, and the deck rebuilt in 2019. It’s one of those homes with “good bones” that just feels warm & inviting from the moment you walk in. The location is unbeatable - you can stroll to Rathtrevor Beach or walk the edge of Englishman River, play a quick round at Brigadoon Golf Course just 2 minutes away, or be in the heart of Parksville in moments.
