Description

Located in one of Nanaimo’s newer growing neighbourhoods and backing onto mature trees, this 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom home offers a functional layout with a legal 2 bedroom suite and modern finishings throughout. The main home features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a bright open-concept design built for everyday living and entertaining. The two-tone kitchen adds a clean modern feel with plenty of workspace, new stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry for additional storage and functionality. The layout flows seamlessly into the living area complete with a cozy gas fireplace. The legal 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom suite offers excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental income, while upgraded soundproofing between the spaces helps provide additional privacy and comfort. Built just 2 years ago, this home also includes the remainder of the 2-5-10 home warranty for added peace of mind. Set in a quiet area close to parks, schools, shopping, and everyday amenities, this is a great opportunity to own a newer home with income potential in a desirable location. Plus, save on GST compared to buying brand new. (id:63159)

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.
