$789,900

If you desire a home which emanates tradition and character, this remarkable family home is set on a quiet side street in the heart of South Nanaimo. First time on market, custom built for this family with a sprawling 1465sf on the main level, 1498sf of unfinished space on the lower level, and 822sf detached shop with alley access. One appreciates the extra features of this classic home: the 20'x12'8 living room and dining room feature vintage cove and plaster ceilings and walls, all in pristine condition, reflecting quality workmanship. A traditional main level plan with updated kitchen cabinetry, mudroom and door to the rear covered deck and yard, 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms (a 2 piece ensuite/walk-in closet in the primary bedroom and full main bathroom), stairs with wrought-iron rail to the full-height unfinished basement. This lower level awaits your finishing ideas as it offers plenty of room including a rough-in bathroom and separate access, perfect for a growing family and a legal suite. A cold room, gas furnace, ample storage, and 150 amp panel will add to your plans. The level lot with ample parking leads to both a 822sf detached shop, a covered shed, raised garden beds set in the sunny, south-facing yard. With alley access to the shop and R5 (4-plex) zoning, you may choose to develop this space into a carriage home (buyer to confirm with City of Nanaimo). Walking distance to both Georgia Ave and John Barsby schools, proximity to shopping, parks, VIU, and recreational centers. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important.
