Description
Two separate homes on one flat, rectangular lot, with a fence between so neither side feels like a compromise. The main house was built in 2016 and has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Behind it, the 2020 carriage house offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, vaulted ceilings, in-floor heating, on demand hot water, and its own garage. It is reached from the alley, so the two homes share no driveway, no entry and no yard. Use the carriage house for extended family or rent it out for some additional income. The flat rectangular lot keeps the yard usable corner to corner and the alley keeps the front curb clean. University Village is minutes away for groceries and coffee, Vancouver Island University is close by, and downtown Nanaimo, the hospital, and the ferries are a short drive. Enjoy main level living in both homes. The carriage house is vacant and ready for use. Book your tour today. All measurements approximate, verify 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.

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.
