2712 Rydal Ave, Cumberland, BC

A flexible income home a short walk from Dunsmuir Avenue. Built in 2011 with over 2, 500 sq. ft. across two separate up/down units. The upper unit has three bedrooms plus a family room; the lower adds two more, for five bedrooms combined. A heat pump handles heating and cooling, and the appliances have all been replaced since the build. The two levels lock off for privacy or open into one connected home. Hold it as an investment with tenants in place, live up while the lower level helps carry the mortgage, or take back both floors for a large family home in one of the Island's most sought-after villages. Cumberland is the draw. The old coal town is now Vancouver Island's outdoor-recreation hub, with more than 170 mountain-bike trails running from the community forest at the edge of the village and a walkable core of cafes, a brewery, restaurants, and shops along Dunsmuir. Mount Washington, Comox Valley schools, and the Courtenay commute are all close.
