This beautifully maintained semi-riverfront home sits on a rare south-facing ¼-acre lot with stunning views and direct access to the Nanaimo River. Tucked away on a quiet no-thru road, this private oasis offers a fully fenced yard with endless room to garden, play, or simply unwind. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, the expansive wrap-around cedar deck, large pergola, and cozy firepit provide the perfect setting year-round. There's plenty of space to stretch out, with thoughtfully designed outdoor zones for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the surrounding natural beauty. Inside, the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout is bright and welcoming. The kitchen is flooded with natural light thanks to two skylights and offers generous workspace and storage. The living room features crown mouldings, a charming wood stove, and direct access to the deck—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Two ductless heat pumps ensure efficient, year-round comfort. Notable upgrades include PEX plumbing, R22 spray foam insulation, a newer roof, and a 5-ft crawl space with humidistat. The property also includes a workshop, storage shed, and ample parking with gated side access for your RV, boat, or other toys. A peaceful, nature-surrounded retreat just minutes from schools, shopping, and everyday essentials.
