Welcome to a home where life slows down just enough to enjoy it. Tucked away at the end of a quiet, sun-drenched cul-de-sac in the beloved Cathers Lake neighborhood, 269 Tahoe Ave is more than just a rancher, it’s a retreat designed for easy living and weekend adventures. Built by Reputable Builder, Windley Construction, this single-story home welcomes you with an airy, thoughtful layout. The spacious living room, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and elegant crown molding, is the perfect spot for rainy West Coast afternoons. The bright, sunlit kitchen features a central island and a charming eating nook, ideal for your morning coffee before stepping directly out onto the back deck. Benefit from a crisp, freshly painted interior and brand-new flooring in all three bedrooms. Bonus: The sellers are leaving enough matching flooring to complete the living room and hallways! The backyard is a gardener’s delight and ready for your ideas. Featuring a signature Palm tree, lush Hydrangeas, and vibrant Rhododendrons. A private back deck overlooks the partially fenced yard, which includes an 8x12 garden shed (wired for electricity, buyer to confirm) perfect for a workshop or extra storage. Keep the greenery lush with the built-in sprinkler system, and enjoy the convenience of a double garage with total parking for four vehicles. Location is everything, and here, you are at the center of Nanaimo’s best recreation: Minutes from the trails of **Westwood Lake**, perfect for morning jogs or summer swims. Steps away from Modo Yoga, WIP Climbing Gym, the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, and the Ice Rink. Stroll down to **Serious Coffee** for a brew or meet friends at the Jingle Pot Pub. Ideally located near all levels of schooling, including Nanaimo Christian School, Mountain View Elementary, and NDSS. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a safe community, a downsizer seeking single-level comfort, or an investor eyeing a property in a sought-after pocket, this home checks every box.
