home and the flexibility of R5 zoning with 3- and 4-unit residential potential, plus possible future commercial or residential redevelopment and subdivision potential for buyers looking ahead. Inside, original wood floors and classic wainscotting speak to the home’s lasting character. Everyday living is supported by practical, comfortable spaces including a large laundry and mudroom, kitchen, dining room with patio doors opening to the yard, updated 3-piece bathroom with walk-in shower, inviting living room, primary bedroom with an updated 2-piece ensuite, and 2 additional bedrooms. Downstairs, the unfinished basement provides plenty of storage and room for the extras that come with real life. Outside, the detached garage/workshop adds versatility, while the private backyard creates a peaceful setting to garden, gather, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the lot. The location is equally convenient, close to Rutherford Mall, Nanaimo North Town Centre, restaurants, shopping, everyday amenities, easy highway access, and the Parkway Trail. This is a home the seller grew up in and has truly loved living in, which gives the property a sense of continuity and care that is hard to replicate. Now, as it’s time to downsize, a new chapter is ready to begin. Rarely does a property offer this kind of history, character, and future possibility in one package. Come imagine what home – or what opportunity – could look like here. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing. (id:62650)
