Set in an area of quality homes which seldom come on the market, this beautifully maintained, 2838sf ocean view home offers location, abundant light, and a thoughtful, flowing plan. The main level offers a great room design with open stairwell, comfortable living room with corner gas fireplace separated from the kitchen by a large open dining area, and island kitchen with pantry. The natural light sets this home apart and begins in the kitchen, the heart of the home. Two skylights and surrounding picture and sliding glass windows, natural wood finished cabinetry, and bistro island create both a functional yet welcoming space to work and enjoy. Step from the kitchen onto the wrap-around partially covered deck and enjoy the ocean views and tranquility this setting on a corner lot and cul-de-sac offers. Three bedrooms on the main level include two with corner windows for lots of sun and warmth. The lower level features a large entry and family room, big den with corner fireplace, ideal for media or your 'Work from home' space, full bathroom, 4th bedroom, and access to the extra large 595sf garage. The yard has enjoyed recent upgrades including some fencing, lawn, and other tasteful touches. You will be pleasantly surprised by the large lot and privacy without the intimidation of too much work; the location among quality homes, proximity to waterfront parks and trails, and schools. This is one of Nanaimo's finest neighbourhoods. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important.
