Looking for a solid 3 (or 4) bedroom home, that has a mortgage helper? This home offers a fully fenced yard, plenty of parking, alley access with a vehicle gate, a separate shop/shed and more. The backyard is tiered with a nice rock wall and patio area, perfect for a private back yard BBQ! The home is very functional, with a great room concept on the main floor with two bedrooms, and a laundry, providing a fully independent living space! The lower floor has a rec room that is currently being used as a very cool bedroom, has sliding doors to the back yard patio area. The other portion of the lower floor is a fully contained one bedroom suite! Now let’s talk about the location! A VERY short walk to Colliery Dam Park and all the attached trails, fishing spots and recreation, and it's also walking distance to Vancouver Island University, Nanaimo Ice Centre, Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and both levels of school and shops. A very flexible space that is in great condition awaits its next owner!
