Welcome to Departure Bay living at its best!
This updated, custom-built home sits on a large private lot in one of Nanaimo’s most desirable and family-friendly neighbourhoods. Enjoy views of Departure Bay, Mount Benson, and all-day sunshine from your expansive south-facing deck — perfect for morning coffee, entertaining, or simply watching eagles soar overhead.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy and move-in-ready family home featuring a new roof, new 60-gallon hot water tank, new dishwasher, and a beautifully renovated ensuite. The home has been well maintained and offers ample storage and flexible living space — ideal for families or those looking to add an in-law suite or home office. Feel peace of mind with a modern alarm system and efficient natural-gas heating.
Step outside and you’re walking distance to Departure Bay Beach, Drip Coffee, schools, and an off-leash dog park. Commuters will love the quick access north and south, proximity to major bus routes, and easy travel connections — BC Ferries, Hullo Ferries, seaplanes, and the airport are all nearby.
The property’s large, sun-filled lot includes a newly installed front garden with irrigation and a spacious backyard featuring mature fruit trees, space for raised garden beds, and an outdoor entertaining area on the rear concrete slab — perfect for summer barbecues or cozy evenings around a fire pit. There’s ample room to play, relax, or create your dream outdoor space. From golden-hour sunsets to epic sunrises, this home delivers stunning views and a true sense of peace every day.
