Bright and welcoming rancher with 3 beds, 2 baths, rec room, and crawl space, backing onto trees and the Parkway Trail in desirable Avonlea (North Jinglepot). Vaulted ceilings to 12'7" in the open living area with a gas fireplace and large windows for natural light and treed views. The kitchen features maple cabinetry, an island with eating bar, and an under-cabinet vacuum. Spacious primary offers 2 windows, a wall of closets, and full ensuite with bath/shower combo. All 3 bedrooms have new carpet. 3/4 of the garage is a finished rec room or ideal office with separate exterior door (easily converted back to a double garage). The fully fenced yard has a large deck with durable metal and glass railing overlooking a forested backdrop. Parkway Trail access just doors away. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a no-through subdivision—safe for families yet close to shopping, schools, North Nanaimo amenities, and Jingle Pot country.
