Description

Tucked into a great North Nanaimo location close to cafés, schools, shopping, and everyday essentials, this property offers the feeling of a private retreat without leaving the city. This charming rancher is surrounded by mature trees, flowers, garden beds, and layered landscaping that create a peaceful oasis from the moment you arrive. Multiple patio spaces invite you to enjoy the outdoors throughout the day, whether it’s morning coffee, an afternoon in the garden, or a quiet evening tucked beneath the trees. Inside, the home offers an easy single-level layout with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a bright kitchen, and a cozy living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. An additional space off the kitchen adds flexibility for dining, a reading nook, creative studio, or home office. A storage shed provides room for garden tools and outdoor supplies. A warm, private sanctuary in the heart of convenience. *Measurements are approximate; verify if important. *Some listing photos may have been digitally enhanced. (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.
