House For Sale in Nanaimo, BC

Move into the country, but keep a couple of toes in the city! This freshly painted and updated four bedroom semi-rural home features all of the amenities of a city-based home, but within minutes of farm stands, horse pastures, fresh eggs, ocean beach and boat ramp access. Grape vines, Cherry and apple trees balance out a grassy fenced front yard. Drive a couple of blocks to a Nanaimo river swimming hole or jump on a city bus to downtown Nanaimo, BC Ferries or Nanaimo International Airport. Wide double gates on the fully fenced yard allow for easy access to secure RV, boat or sports equipment storage. Schools, pharmacy, grocery store, dentist, cafes, liquor store, restaurants and pubs are all just minutes away. Drive a little further and find yourself in some of Canada’s best fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking and beach combing areas. Relax on the bright front patio in the sun or roll out the full length electric awning and relax in the shade. BBQ on the back-facing raised deck while watching swans, eagles, ducks, blue herons, geese and a variety of wild birds fly and play along the edge of Yorke Lake.

Walk into the front door and experience the cool breeze from the living room heat pump in the summer or the radiant natural gas stove in the winter. The kitchen boasts an abundance of cupboards and pantry storage. The kitchen has gorgeous shades of green emanating from the polished quartzite island in the centre of the kitchen. Just off the kitchen is the laundry room with stacked modern washer and dryer and a two-piece bathroom. A wide staircase takes you to the second floor which includes a grand master bedroom with large windows, walk-in closet, remote control heat pump and ceiling fan. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with large windows and in the center of it all is a four-piece bathroom. The basement is waiting for your creative ideas with a finished 10x10 room that could be your work from home office or the 4th bedroom. The basement also features a large open area that can quickly become a theatre, games or hobby room and a third room with an exterior door that is ready for your wine rack, freezer, beer fridge and/or camping gear. Walk out the basement door to your secluded outdoor hot tub big enough for 4-6 people. On the East side of the home, the large 10x12 greenhouse provides an extra two months to your growing season. Containing large raised gardening beds to reduce bending over, the greenhouse enables you to grow enough fresh produce and flowers to please everyone. Walk down the path to a large workshop with shelving, workbench and lots of electrical power from its sub-panel - including a 20amp plug for a welder or other equipment. The rear of the house includes a car sized fabric coverall and lots of storage under the deck for kayaks, toys, bikes and ATVs. The rear gate opens up to the three houses along Sanford Way with a short walk to Yorke Lake. Don't worry about those winter storms, as the home includes a powerful battery-start gas generator with an outside connection to its isolated electrical panel to keep necessary power on during an outage. Front and rear Wifi security cameras help you monitor and record what's going on outside 24/7. Come see what you and your family have been missing out on!
