There’s a bright, welcoming feel the moment you walk through the door of this well-designed home in one of Nanaimo’s most community-focused neighbourhoods. With sweeping views of Mt. Benson and a backyard that backs onto forest and a creek, it’s the kind of place that makes everyday life feel more connected - to nature, to neighbours, to each other. Inside, the main living space is open, airy, and full of natural light. A gas fireplace anchors the room, while the custom kitchen - complete with stainless appliances and direct access to the backyard - keeps everything within reach. The layout flows easily, making room for both gatherings and quiet moments. On the main floor, you’ll also find a den (ideal for an office), a half bath, and practical perks like garage access and smart under-stair storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a calm retreat, where wide windows frame the mountain and sunlight moves gently across the room. Two more generous bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry area round out the upper level. Outside, the three-tiered backyard is a standout. There’s space to entertain, garden, or just unwind. Established herbs and berries thrive here thanks to the sun exposure, and the concrete patio is ready for summer dinners or morning coffee with birdsong. You’re a short walk from trails, schools, VIU, shops, and recreation. But what really makes this location special is the neighbourly feel - the kind of street where people wave and kids ride bikes until dinner. Fresh paint and flooring throughout most of the interior, a gas hot water tank, a large driveway, and a spot directly across from visitor parking add even more ease.
