Fabulous Nanoose Bay Oceanview Home with Carriage House!

Lovely ocean and island views, exceptional privacy, and a prime location just moments from the beach! This landscaped .31-acre lot hosts a spacious 2372 sqft 3 Bed/3 Bath Oceanview Home plus a large Double Garage topped with a Carriage House for extended family or guests.

This captivating home boasts an expansive floor plan, a skylight and abundant glass for brightness, a wraparound deck, and lovely views reaching over forested neighborhood to the ocean and several islands, with backdrop of distant mainland mountains. There is also an upper-level Primary Suite, although the home offers the option for main-level living if desired.

Ideally located along Nanoose Bay’s scenic seaside route, Dolphin Drive, this property is just moments from a charming waterfront village featuring a restaurant and the Fairwinds Marina. Enjoy easy access to a golf course, picturesque walking trails, and the conveniences of Parksville and North Nanaimo—only 20 minutes away.

From the good-sized parking pad, an artistic glass front door opens to a charming front yard filled with magical gardens, mature plantings, and a water feature. Step into a spacious foyer where rich wood flooring leads you into an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area, beautifully illuminated by windows on three sides.

The spacious Kitchen features a tiered island with a breakfast bar and storage beneath, a walk-in pantry with a second fridge, a full appliance package including a built-in wall oven and beverage cooler, plus a generous amount of ‘Birds Eye’ maple cabinetry, including a cabinet door that opens to reveal a hidden TV.
