Description

Tucked on a quiet North Nanaimo cul-de-sac between two community parks, this immaculate 5-bed, 3-bath home beautifully balances practical family living with a coastal lifestyle. The upper living area and private primary suite capture sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and coastal mountains. The true standout is the fully fenced backyard oasis, featuring a premium 16' x 32' in-ground swimming pool and patio linked directly to the upper deck. Inside, the 2,200+ sqft layout offers a ground-level entry and flexible lower level easily suited or used as a spacious rec room. Complete peace of mind comes from extensive updates, including a brand-new roof, fresh paint, and a modern kitchen refresh. Families will appreciate the safe pedestrian trail leading directly to local schools, plus the convenience of a quick 5-min drive to Costco and Woodgrove Mall shopping. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

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.
