Fabulously located at the end of a quiet cul-de- sac in the sought-after Hammond Bay neighborhood, you'll find this inspiring 2835 sqft 3 Bed/2 Bath Rancher-Style Home with a lower-level 2 Bed/1 Bath Legal Suite, currently rented to long-term tenants who would like to stay, all on a landscaped .33- acre lot.

The home features a skylight and oversized windows, ocean and mountain glimpses, a huge upper deck and lower-level patio, a detached double carport, and a full lower-level Suite that's ideal for in-laws, extended family, or use as a mortgage helper. You’re just minutes away from North Nanaimo’s numerous malls, big-box stores, services, and some of the most popular lakes, beaches, and parks.

From a sunny south-facing front patio, French entry doors open to a foyer and into the spacious Living/Dining Room, where picture windows frame tranquil forest views and a distant glimpse of the ocean. The Living Room features a 'Napoleon' natural gas fireplace, while oak wood flooring and inset lighting flow seamlessly into the Dining Area with its large bay window.

The classic 4 pc Kitchen offers an abundance of shaker cabinetry, including oversized pantry/storage cupboards, generous counter space, a farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances, including a 'GE Profile' natural gas stove with a pot filler above and a 'Samsung' refrigerator. A delightful breakfast nook hosts two large windows with top-down-bottom-up blinds, while an adjacent mudroom offers an exterior door to the carport, making unloading groceries a breeze.

From the Living/Dining Room, French doors open to a massive 541 sqft glass-railed deck that spans the entire length of the home. With durable 'Duradeck' finishing, an ocean glimpse, and a natural gas hookup ready for your BBQ, this is the ultimate spot for al fresco meals, entertaining, or simply unwinding while the peaceful forest provides a stunning natural backdrop.

The Primary Bedroom Suite offers French door access to the deck, a walk-in closet for generous storage, and a skylighted 4 pc ensuite featuring a dual-sink vanity, a glass shower, heated towel rack, and heated tile flooring for year-round comfort. A gallery-style hallway with triple vertical feature windows creates a superb space to showcase larger art pieces and hosts two additional bedrooms and a 4 pc Main Bath/Laundry combo with an 'LG' washer and dryer, heated towel rack, and heated ceramic tile flooring.

A staircase leads to a lower-level landing, where to the left is a good-sized storage room with cupboards and a sink—ideal as creative studio space or an extra bedroom. To the right of the landing, a door opens to an 836 sqft 2 Bed/1 Bath Legal Suite.

The layout features a spacious open-plan main living area with durable 'wood-finish' vinyl plank flooring and an easy-care electric fireplace. The full 4 pc Kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and quartz counter space. A sliding glass door leads to an extended 625 sqft covered patio and private backyard with grass for children and pets to enjoy. One bedroom has patio access, while the second bedroom is privately located on the opposite side of the suite. There's also a 5 pc Bath/Laundry Room with a 'Bosch' washer and dryer, a heated towel rack, dual-sink quartz vanity, and a tub/shower combination.

Extra features include hot water on demand, a central vacuum system in the main home, a sprinkler system plus a rain barrel water collection system, a powered and heated garden shed, and an updated 'Rheem' forced air furnace (2021) along with a heat pump and HRV system for energy efficiency and year-round comfort.

The upper level enjoys radiant in-floor heating throughout, while the lower suite has radiant hot water heating. The roof was replaced in 2011, and R5 zoning may allow small-scale multi-unit housing under the province’s Multi-Unit Housing legislation, offering future development potential.

Best of all, the convenient location offers unbeatable access to everything you need and more! Both levels of schooling are within a 20-minute walk, and it’s a short stroll to the #20 Hammond Bay transit line that travels between the Woodgrove and Downtown Bus Connectors.

A lovely Home with a Suite, lots of privacy, and an unbeatable location — book your viewing today!
