Description

Welcome to beautiful Chase River in family-friendly Cinnabar Valley, where peaceful surroundings, sunny outdoor space, and everyday convenience come together in this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath family home. Set well back from the road on a level and private .40-acre lot surrounded by mature trees and natural vegetation, the property offers exceptional flexibility with ample parking for multiple vehicles, RVs, boats, and recreational toys. Ideally located just minutes from Richard’s Lake, excellent schools, parks, trails, shopping, restaurants, highway access, the airport, and ferry terminal, this property combines the comfort of a quiet residential setting with outstanding accessibility. Inside, the renovated interior offers a bright and welcoming atmosphere with updated vinyl flooring, many new windows, neutral tones throughout, and new white cabinetry and millwork ready for your personal style. At the heart of the home is the beautifully remodeled open-concept chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, generous workspace, and seamless flow into the dining area, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The main living level upstairs is bright and airy, with large windows that capture natural light and views of the surrounding property. The upper family room overlooks the backyard and opens directly onto a spacious west-facing concrete patio, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying sunny afternoons outdoors. Downstairs, the flexible layout continues with a large rec room, fourth bedroom, 4-piece bathroom, and laundry room with convenient access to the single carport. Partially fenced and offering plenty of room to personalize, garden, or further enhance the outdoor spaces, this property presents an exceptional opportunity in one of Nanaimo’s most desirable family-oriented neighborhoods. Measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

11

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.

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.
