everyday amenities, while nearby Brannen Lake Beach & Boat Launch adds warm-water swimming, boating and easy summer recreation to the mix. A welcoming front porch leads into a bright, well-kept main level designed with both connection and separation in mind. The living room features built-ins and a stone-faced gas fireplace, while the den provides a comfortable home office or quiet flex space. At the rear, the kitchen, dining area and family room create the everyday heart of the home. The kitchen is finished with white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, ample counter space and a generous island with seating. Beside it, the family room is warmed by a wood stove and opens directly to the patio and beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard. Mature trees and established gardens create a peaceful green setting for outdoor meals, play, gardening and relaxed evenings at home. Upstairs, a central bonus/rec room adds another valuable family space and connects all three bedrooms. The spacious primary includes a walk-in closet and 3-pc ensuite, while two additional bedrooms, a 4-pc family bath and convenient upper-level laundry complete the floor. Outside, the approximately 400 sq ft detached double garage gives you useful room for vehicles, a workshop, bikes, storage and all the gear that comes with Island living. With multiple living zones inside, inviting outdoor space and Brannen Lake recreation nearby, this is a home built for real family life in Nanaimo.
