Set on a quiet road in one of Nanaimo’s most established neighbourhoods, the level lot provides privacy and walkability, with Cilaire Elementary School just up the street. The professionally designed yard is a standout feature - a mature food forest with native edible landscaping, irrigated garden beds, fruit trees & a paver patio enclosed in a private outdoor retreat. The backyard also offers additional SW garden space and room to relax or play. Inside, a functional mudroom adds everyday practicality.

A newer sunroom and adjoining deck were added to maximize light and views, creating a comfortable year-round space. The spacious mid-century kitchen offers an open layout with under-lit tiled backsplash, wall oven, and access to a covered rear deck for outdoor BBQs. Downstairs provides 2 additional bedrooms and a generous rec room with a 2nd wood-burning fireplace. Partially finished, it offers flexibility for future customization.
