Description

Welcome to 5056 Vista View Crescent, a main level entry home with walk out basement 5 bedrooms, 1 den, 4 bathrooms, and nearly 4000 finished sf. With breathtaking views of the ocean, Winchelsea Islands, coastal mountains and possibly the best sunsets, driving down Vista View you'll see pride of ownership all around, views and a sense of peace and west coast feel. This is arguably one of the nicest locations in all of Nanaimo. When you arrive you'll see a nice yard with bonsai trees, Eco Paved driveway, extended driveway to the walkout basement, the lot comfortable fits 4 vehicles + double garage, and room for your RV or boat. Entering the main level you'll appreciate the space immediately with a near 10 foot wide entryway and look straight out to the ocean. To the right you have a spacious living area with gas fireplace and plenty of natural light. Straight ahead you have another living area, kitchen with gas stove, Bamboo Hardwood, views from the kitchen and easy access to the deck ( with BBQ gas hook up as well ) to soak up more views or cool down with a calming ocean breeze. Continuing the main level you have 3 bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, a laundry room with sink, easy garage access with an HRV system, and ductless heat pumps. The primary bedroom is spacious, has a soaker tub with views, walk in shower, large vanity and access to a enclosed deck. Downstairs you have a spacious bedroom with it's own bathroom/shower, another bedroom with potential for a large walk-in closet, a den and in-law suite which can easily access the panel or gas hook up for stove. The lower level has a separate entrance, spacious covered patio and easy access to the gorgeous garden. Homes with this size, view, location don't come up often, don't miss your chance to relocate to one of the most desirable neighborhoods that is close to schools, shopping, ferries, beaches and all North end amenities. All 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.
