today and the future. Natural light fills the main level through large picture windows, highlighting hardwood floors in the inviting living room with tile-surround fireplace. The adjoining dining room flows into the kitchen with abundant cabinetry, tile flooring, backyard views, and direct access to the rear deck. A spacious primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a family bath complete the main floor. The lower level significantly expands the home’s potential, offering a separate entrance, mudroom, laundry area, recreation room, studio/hobby space, additional bedroom and 3-piece bath. With no kitchen currently installed, there is an opportunity to explore creating a secondary suite, additional living space, home-based workspace or other improvements to suit your plans. Outside, mature trees and established landscaping provide privacy and a pleasant backyard setting with room to enjoy outdoor living. The central location adds further investment appeal, just minutes from Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, shopping, schools, parks, transit, Departure Bay Ferry and Nanaimo’s waterfront. For those looking to maximize the opportunity, the adjoining R5 development lot is also available under MLS® 1049129, opening the door to an even broader investment, redevelopment or future development strategy. Purchase the home on its own or explore the potential of acquiring both properties together. Measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (id:62650)
