Looking to buy your first home? This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath character home is the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and convenience. Originally built in 1910, it has been thoughtfully modernized with new flooring, windows, doors, vinyl siding, an asphalt roof, updated electrical and plumbing, and natural gas heating—making it completely move-in ready. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch or host friends on the spacious back deck overlooking a fully fenced 0.25-acre yard. The backyard features 2 pear, 1 apple, and 1 plum tress —plus plenty of room for pets, gardening, or entertaining. Ample parking for vehicles, RVs, or a boat, and a 5-ft crawlspace offers great storage. Conveniently located just blocks from the ocean, walking distance to downtown Nanaimo, close to VIU and walking trails, and only a 4-min drive to Starbucks and shopping. With future potential to add a garage or full-size home, this is an ideal first step into the market or as an investment.
