Set on a private 1-acre property in the peaceful community of Nanoose Bay, this charming one-level home offers a rare blend of comfort, functionality, and space to enjoy relaxed Vancouver Island living. Surrounded by natural beauty and mature landscaping, the property provides privacy while still offering convenient access to nearby amenities, recreation, and major routes connecting Nanaimo and Parksville. The home features 3 well-sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across approximately 1,213 sq ft of finished living space. The layout is bright and practical, designed for easy everyday living with a comfortable flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Updated finishes, stone countertops, and newer appliances enhance both style and functionality, making the home move-in ready. Year-round comfort is ensured with a high-efficiency furnace, heat pump, and air conditioning system. A WETT-certified wood stove adds warmth, charm, and an inviting focal point — perfect for cozy evenings at home. The furnace is propane-fueled, while the heat pump runs on electricity. The 1-acre lot offers plenty of usable space for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or future expansion — with potential to add a carriage house (buyer to do their due diligence). The detached garage/workshop, complete with its own electrical supply, provides exceptional versatility for hobbies, storage, or creative projects. Includes a durable steel metal roof (approx. 7 years old), city water connection, and a well-maintained septic system with two tanks. The home is supported by a 100-amp electrical panel, while the workshop is equipped with an additional 70-amp service. A fantastic opportunity to own a well-maintained home in a sought-after location — close to beach access, Nanoose Bay Elementary School, walking distance to The Red Gap Plaza, and just steps from a cold pint at The Rustic Rake. Potential to add carriage house, buyer to do their due dilligence.
