Description

Welcome to 6001 Butcher Road, a beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offering nearly 2,400 sq ft of bright, modern living in one of North Nanaimo’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Sitting proudly on a sunny corner lot, this residence blends thoughtful updates, long-term efficiency, and exceptional indoor–outdoor living. The exterior has undergone a substantial upgrade, featuring new Hardie-plank siding with R5 insulation, a brand-new standing-seam metal roof with engineered air-gap system, new windows, and a new furnace and heat pump for year-round comfort (2025). Together, these improvements deliver durability, energy savings, and striking curb appeal enhanced by new exterior lighting and fresh landscaping. Inside, the home feels bright, calm, and move-in ready. Wide-plank high quality laminate floors, updated bathrooms, new lighting, and fresh paint elevate each space. The main level offers excellent flow: a spacious & bright kitchen, an adjacent dining area, a large family room, and a generous living room with a beautiful vaulted feature window. Three bedrooms complete this upper level, including a comfortable primary suite with full ensuite. The lower level is ideal for families, guests, or extended living arrangements. It features two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a large recreation room, laundry room, storage, and a welcoming foyer. Roughed in plumbing for wetbar or suite potential! Outdoor living shines here, with a massive entertainer’s deck, patios, and a private fenced yard offering plenty of room to relax, garden, or gather. Carriage home potential also exists! Located just minutes from top-rated schools (McGirr Elementary, Dover Bay Secondary), neighbourhood parks, Woodgrove Centre, grocery stores, restaurants, and Nanaimo’s best beaches such as Neck Point and Piper’s Lagoon. A beautifully updated, efficient, and versatile home in an unbeatable North Nanaimo location! Measurements approx. (id:63159)

Amenities

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.
