A Rare Piece of Cumberland History

Front exterior of a historic 1894 Cumberland home showcasing classic character and timeless charm, with original architectural details, a welcoming covered porch, and mature landscaping. The home sits on a fully fenced lot along a quiet village street, offering a warm, inviting presence just steps from downtown Cumberland, local shops, and trail access.

Built in 1894 as the 5th home ever constructed in the village, this remarkable property at 2745 Derwent Ave is a true piece of local history, rich with character, legacy, and timeless charm. With only two owners since its construction — including the founder of Cumberland’s iconic Empire Days — this home tells a story that’s deeply woven into the fabric of the community.

Offering 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the flexible layout includes 2 bedrooms upstairs and 3 downstairs, making it ideal for families, guests, creative spaces, or work-from-home living. A generous dining room anchors the home, perfect for gatherings, while the cozy living room creates a warm and inviting atmosphere to unwind at the end of the day.

Set on a fully fenced 0.14-acre lot with laneway access to the backyard, the outdoor space offers excellent potential for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. While the home presents an exciting opportunity for updates and personalization, it is move-in ready with solid bones — an ideal canvas for restoring and enhancing a true Cumberland gem.

Located in the heart of the village, you’re just steps from downtown restaurants, shops, and a local brewery, with world-class mountain biking right outside your front door and Comox Lake just down the road. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home while fully embracing the vibrant, active lifestyle Cumberland is known for.

Coming Soon – $549,000
A once-in-a-generation chance to own history, character, and community — all in one unforgettable property. 🏡✨🌲🔥
