Description
Beautiful 1929 bungalow with charm, style, and class. This is a lifestyle! Just a block from the waterfront for paddling, seawall strolls, ocean dips, or peddling your cycle. Less than 1km walk to Maffeo Sutton Park (think music, festivals, food trucks!). This sweet home packs a lot into its size with three bedrooms, bright kitchen, and relaxing living room layout. Bring a beverage onto the front porch to enjoy the marine wind, peak-a-boo ocean view, or just relax as the world sails past. Or get grilling in the private backyard enclave and carouse with family & friends (gas bbq hook-up). The quaint garden & warm entrance add curb appeal to the old time Nanaimo whimsy of this abode. Fully fenced, centrally located this home will appeal to families, single buyers, or empty-nesters. It is an ideal starter house, or one to downsize. The neighbourhood showcases fine home, kept in picture perfect presentation so you’ll be in good company. Come see and prepare to fall completely in love! (id:63159)

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.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
