Property Description
Some homes simply offer a place to live. Others offer possibilities. Welcome to 342 Howard Avenue, a charming character home set on a private 7,200 sq ft lot in Nanaimo's evolving University District. Whether you're looking for a family home with room to grow, an investment property, or a land holding with exciting future redevelopment potential, this property delivers exceptional flexibility and long-term value. Originally one of the area's historic farm homes, this residence blends timeless character with thoughtful updates including an updated kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, newer windows, a newer roof, forced-air heating, and spacious living areas filled with natural light. The flexible floor plan features 1 bedroom on the main floor, 3 bedrooms plus a den upstairs, making it ideal for growing families, home-based professionals, or multigenerational living. Step outside and you'll discover one of the property's greatest assets. A massive, private backyard framed by mature cedar hedges creates your own secluded retreat. Entertain on the oversized deck, enjoy the established fruit trees, or simply appreciate the space and privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the home itself lies one of the property's most compelling opportunities. Positioned on a level 60' x 120' lot in a rapidly evolving neighbourhood, this property offers exciting future redevelopment potential while providing an exceptional place to call home today. Buyers are encouraged to explore development possibilities with the City of Nanaimo. Just minutes from Vancouver Island University, downtown Nanaimo, the waterfront, parks, recreation, shopping, and restaurants, this is a rare opportunity to secure a property that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term upside.
