About This Property

Stunning ocean views, established food forest gardens & sought-after Cilaire location come together in this beautifully maintained home. Located just 2 blocks from Departure Bay Beach & Beach Estates Park, the property offers an exceptional blend of lifestyle and long-term value. Set on a quiet road in one of Nanaimo’s most established neighbourhoods, the level lot provides privacy and walkability, with Cilaire Elementary School just up the street. The professionally designed yard is a standout feature - a mature food forest with native edible landscaping, irrigated garden beds, fruit trees & a paver patio enclosed in a private outdoor retreat. The backyard also offers additional SW garden space and room to relax or play. Inside, a functional mudroom adds everyday practicality. The upper level features a bright, open-concept living area filled with natural light & ocean views. Expansive windows and outdoor spaces capture sweeping sunrise views over the Salish Sea, coastal mountains, ferries & seaplanes. A woodstove adds warmth & character. The primary bedroom includes maple hardwood floors & ocean views, while the 2nd upstairs bedroom overlooks the landscaped yard with classic parquet flooring. A newer sunroom and adjoining deck were added to maximize light and views, creating a comfortable year-round space. The spacious mid-century kitchen offers an open layout with under-lit tiled backsplash, wall oven, and access to a covered rear deck for outdoor BBQs. Downstairs provides 2 additional bedrooms and a generous rec room with a 2nd wood-burning fireplace. Partially finished, it offers flexibility for future customization. Key updates include a heat pump with A/C, roof approximately 10 years old, new attic insulation, updated windows, hot water tank, and a double garage. Rare opportunity to own in one of Nanaimo’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Call/Text Mandy Colford of Team Invest West 250-739-5678 for a private viewing or info pkg (id:64973)
