Description

Welcome to 595 Sarum Rise Way in Hawthorne Heights — a friendly, established neighbourhood with flat, tree-lined streets, a huge park and an incredible sense of community. Built in 2008 and meticulously maintained, this 2,268 sq ft home has been thoughtfully refreshed with fresh paint, quartz counters throughout, updated kitchen, newer appliances and new window coverings. The main level offers a bright, functional layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite featuring a soaker tub and separate shower. The kitchen is the center of the action with plenty of cabinetry, a large island and an easy flow into the dining and living areas. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with access from both sides of the home. Step onto the large covered balcony and take in sensational Mount Benson views, or head out back to the fully fenced yard with mature landscaping and raised garden beds. Downstairs adds even more flexibility with a family/flex room currently used as a home gym and direct access to the oversized double garage — large enough for a truck, workspace and serious storage. And then there’s the completely self-contained legal one-bedroom suite with a full kitchen, laundry, large living space and private patio. Perfect for rental income, extended family or simply having options. Just minutes from VIU, NDSS, the Aquatic Centre, Nanaimo Ice Centre and Westwood Lake, with downtown, the Hullo Ferry and Helijet are close by. Great location, beautifully updated, incredible flexibility and a legal suite make this one worth a serious look. (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.
