Description

Updated End Unit at highly-regarded Rocklands at Rutherford! Bright and immaculate, this townhome is the largest floorplan, with multiple South-Facing windows bringing sunlight into the main level entry living space. No expense was spared updating the home’s centrepiece: a true Chef’s Kitchen with oversized 9ft x 5 ft centre island, stainless steel appliances, custom concrete countertops and quality cabinets. A wall was removed with Strata Permission to open up the space and gorgeous Hardwood Flooring installed throughout. A Heat Pump was added in 2021. The primary ensuite offers a little bit of luxury with Custom Built Vanity, quartz counters and standout mosaic tile flooring. Two bedrooms, large Family Room and plenty of storage complete the lower level. Rarely do these units become available and it’s easy to see why, with one of North Nanaimo's best locations, close to shopping, restaurants, trails, parks and beaches. Move to Central Vancouver Island and Live Your Dream Today. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

15

2/9 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.
