Wake up to mountain and city views, steps from Westwood Lake trails and minutes from downtown Nanaimo. 244 Tahoe Ave offers the kind of lifestyle most only dream about — a quiet, no-through street where neighbours wave, nature is your backyard, and everything you need is within reach. This is the home you've been waiting for, and remarkably, it's hitting the market for the very first time from its original owner. Spend weekends exploring the trail systems around Westwood Lake, letting the kids run free in the fully fenced yard beneath a canopy of mature trees, or unwinding on the freshly repainted deck as the sun sets behind the mountains. When you need to venture out, everything is within minutes — the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, boutique coffee shops, your favourite pub, top-rated schools including Mountain View Elementary, Christian School, and Montessori Farm School, and easy highway access for wherever life takes you. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed and is truly move-in ready. New windows flood the space with natural light, fresh paint gives every room a clean, welcoming feel, and brand new blinds add a polished finish throughout. Three bedrooms — two on the main floor and one downstairs — along with 2.5 bathrooms offer flexible living for families of all shapes and sizes. A newer propane fireplace anchors the living space with warmth and character, while a 125-amp electrical panel and newer hot water tank mean the big-ticket items are already taken care of. The walk-out basement with its own separate entrance is where the possibilities truly open up — a bright secondary suite for rental income, a comfortable in-law retreat, a rec room, hobby space, or home studio. RV and boat parking plus a carport round out this incredibly practical property. Whether you're planting roots, building equity, or simply looking for a place that feels like home the moment you walk in.
