This is a lovely home in a truly wonderful location. The home is bright and airy with dark hardwood floors, and a wonderful natural gas with a remote control/programmable timer.
This would be an ideal house for retirees. It is only a 15 minute completely level walk to Rutherford Mall (which has all of the basics). It is also only a 20 minute walk to the Longwood Brew Pub or Cactus Club, and Oliver Woods community recreation center.
Ranchers in north Nanaimo are in extremely short supply.
Other key features:
-very easy to access the highways
-5 minute walk to Uplands School, or a convenience store
-on a bus route for easy access to VIU, etc

-the family room with it's own plumbed in natural gas heater is wonderful as an alternative to the living room, allowing people to have their own space

-the roof is less than 10 years old
-the monthly utility bills for 2017 averaged: electricity $85, natural gas $38, garbage+compost+recycling+water+sewer $33
I will not accept offers made through realtors unless you are prepared to pay their commission - I will not. The actual transaction will be handled by notaries or lawyers - it is surprisingly easy to buy and sell houses privately. You and I all save thousands!
Viewing is by appointment only. Email me your cell number and I will text you the address.
