ceilings, skylights, large windows and an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless appliances, extensive counter space and a large island. For anyone needing serious garage or workspace, this property really stands apart. The oversized 599 sq. ft. garage is approximately 20′ x 28’5” and connects to an impressive 604 sq. ft. workshop measuring approximately 21’8” x 26’3”. Together they provide approximately 1, 200 sq. ft. of garage and workshop space, ideal for vehicles, projects, hobbies, storage or anyone who simply wants room to spread out. Outside, the 1.24 acre property offers mature landscaping, fenced areas for dogs, a sunny south facing yard and an enormous deck for outdoor living and entertaining. The home is set well back from the road, providing privacy while maintaining convenient access to Nanaimo, Parksville and everything Nanoose Bay has to offer. Updated bathrooms and flooring, a newer roof, two heat pumps and heat recovery ventilation add to the package. Nearly 3, 000 sq. ft. of living space, 1.24 acres and approximately 1, 200 sq. ft. of garage and workshop space make this a property that is difficult to duplicate. I think this version does a much better job of identifying who should be clicking on this listing. The garage/workshop isn’t a little side feature here. At roughly 1, 200 sq. ft., it’s one of the property’s biggest selling points, along with the acreage and unusually large rancher.I’d also consider changing the first photo and photo order on Realtor.ca so the first 5–6 photos reinforce exactly this message: acreage ? big rancher ? garage ? workshop ? beautiful open interior.
