Description

One of the largest units in the building and one of the rarest finds in Nanaimo, a true 3 bedroom condo with 1,140 sq ft of living space. Set in the heart of central Nanaimo, within 5 minutes of shopping, groceries, schools, downtown, the hospital & ferry terminal. Inside, the modern kitchen features subway tile backsplash, newer countertops, white cabinetry & an eating bar that opens to the living room with updated flooring throughout. The primary bed has its own private 4 piece ensuite & in-suite laundry adds everyday convenience. The gas fireplace (gas included in strata fee) brings warmth and ambience to the main living area, & keeps the heating bill low. Outside is a covered patio w/ southern exposure & glimpses of Mt Benson. Underground parking included & a storage locker provides the extra space that condo living often lacks. A 3 bedroom condo of this size, in this location, with parking, does not come up often. Measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (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.
