Step outside to the lovely front porch—an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the comings and goings of the neighborhood, all while appreciating the peace and quiet of this tranquil street. The sunny yard is a gardener’s dream, complete with established flower beds, mature plants, and room to grow. Bring your ideas to update and personalize the home to your style. Centrally located close to bus routes, a coffee shop, corner store, and just a 5-minute drive to Country Club Mall and Brooks Landing Mall, this one-of-a-kind property combines location, versatility, and value in one of Nanaimo’s most desirable neighborhoods.
