Description
Centrally Located Gem with Development Potential – Fully Renovated, Completely Upgraded Systems! Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Nanaimo, this beautifully renovated 1,850 SqFt home sits on a flat, sprawling 0.4-acre R5-zoned lot, offering incredible future development potential. Featuring 4 bedrooms, a den/flexible room, and 3 bathrooms, this property has undergone a massive, top-to-bottom transformation with permits and premium upgrades. No detail was spared in its comprehensive mechanical and structural overhaul: the home features a fully upgraded 200 Amp electrical panel (perfect for future EV charging or suites) and an updated plumbing system featuring modern PEX lines integrated with classic copper piping. A solid foundation protected by an updated perimeter drain pipe, a brand-new fiberglass shingle roof, top-tier Low-E energy-efficient windows, complete wall/ceiling insulation replacement, and specialized soundproofing insulation in the downstairs bedroom ceilings further elevate the home's quality. While the property backs onto a roadway, the premium upgraded windows and superior insulation ensure a serene, whisper-quiet indoor environment where outside noise completely disappears. Absolute comfort and worry-free living are guaranteed with a brand-new high-efficiency gas furnace and hot water tank. Inside, enjoy a sleek modern aesthetic with completely redesigned kitchens and bathrooms boasting custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. The interior features durable waterproof vinyl plank flooring for effortless maintenance. Outside, the massive, flat yard provides a blank canvas for your backyard dreams, complete with a brand-new custom deck and stairs leading down to the private yard, as well as a dedicated side area perfect for secure RV or boat parking. Location is everything: you are minutes away from the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH), Departure Bay Ferry Terminal, and shopping malls. (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.
