Description

Fabulous ocean views, a quiet setting and a sought-after North Nanaimo location! Offered for sale for the first time, this well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has been enjoyed by the same owners for over 30 years. The main living areas take advantage of the beautiful ocean views, while a distinctive five-window feature fills the living room with natural light. The kitchen is open to the dining area that offers sliding door access to the deck, where you can relax, entertain and enjoy the ocean outlook while overlooking the fenced portion of the yard. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including the primary bedroom with its own ensuite, along with a main bathroom and separate laundry room. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom, bathroom and additional living space provide plenty of flexibility. Part of the lower level could easily be adapted to create a 1-bedroom suite for a mortgage helper or Airbnb, while the huge storage area offers exciting potential for a movie room, gym, or hobby space. Set on a corner lot on a quiet no-through road, the property features mature landscaping, apple and fig trees, a fenced yard and a double garage/workshop. A solid home with vinyl windows provide a great starting point for someone ready to bring their own style and fresh ideas. The location is another highlight. Walk to schools, transit and Linley Valley Drive Park, with shopping, restaurants and other amenities just minutes away. The longtime owners can’t say enough about the neighbourhood and the friendly neighbours they’ve enjoyed over the years. With ocean views, a versatile layout, plenty of storage and loads of potential, this is a wonderful opportunity to make your home in one of North Nanaimo’s most desirable areas. Measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (id:63159)

Amenities

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
