Description
This recently updated 6-bedroom home is located in central Nanaimo and offers an excellent opportunity for both homeowners and investors. Mountain views and situated on a quarter-acre double lot with lane access. This is a rare find in Nanaimo. Neighbouring lots have already been subdivided, and the property presents strong redevelopment potential for multiplex or multifamily use. The home was renovated in 2018, including all new appliances. Recent updates include interior paint, a new roof, a new hot water tank, and more. Ideally located just minutes from Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Vancouver Island University, the property is well positioned to attract both professionals and students. It is also conveniently located near both ferry terminals, offering easy access to parks, shops, and other amenities. Plumbing is already in place downstairs, allowing for the addition of a secondary suite (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.

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.
