A private oasis in the city! This beautifully maintained 2004 rancher sits on an impressive .34-acre level lot bordering the Chase River watercourse. The landscaped yard features mature gardens, slate pathways, a tranquil water feature and plenty of space to relax or entertain. Inside, the home feels fresh and move-in ready with new carpeting, vinyl flooring and paint. The spacious kitchen opens to the back deck and expansive yard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all on one level, the home offers comfortable, flexible living. R5 zoning and the positioning of the existing home may also provide future development potential. Buyers to verify permitted uses with the City of Nanaimo. A rare combination of privacy, space and convenience.
