Welcome to the most affordable home in the centrally located and highly desirable Uplands area. Tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through road in Long Lake Heights, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom family home offers a level of privacy that is hard to find. Situated on a generous .3-acre lot with mature trees and a fully fenced yard, this property provides a serene retreat while remaining minutes away from the best of North Nanaimo. The home features a bright and spacious open-concept floor plan on the upper level, illuminated by large vinyl windows. The kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops and flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, ideal for family life. The main floor is thoughtfully designed with the primary suite, featuring its own private ensuite, as well as a second bedroom and a full 4-piece bathroom, keeping the family close together on one level. Downstairs, the walk-out level offers even more space with a large recreation room, a third bedroom, and a combined 2-piece bathroom and laundry room. While the home has seen extensive updates over the years, including durable Hardi-plank siding, a 3-zone ductless heat pump for efficient climate control, and a full kitchen, it remains a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to bring their own personal style and finishing touches to a solid property. Outdoor living is a highlight here, with an expansive south-facing deck where you can take advantage of the lovely mountain views and the quiet atmosphere of the no-through street. For families, the location is unbeatable: you are within walking distance to both Uplands Park Elementary and Wellington High School, and just a short drive from the shopping, dining, and amenities of North Nanaimo and the recreation at Long Lake.
