**A Rare Gem on Nanaimo's Inner Harbour** Located on a quiet street, with a spectacular ocean view facing Newcastle Island, Protection Island and vibrant Nanaimo Harbour. Immediately in front of the house, along the harbour, is the seawall which takes the stroller from the Nanaimo yacht club to the downtown and inner harbour. On the way is an ocean-side park with a crabbing pier and jetty for the ferry to Newcastle Island. As you step into this 3200 sq ft home, crafted in 1920 by a renowned local architect, you will be amazed by this true rarity in the community. The large, covered front porch calls you to sit, sip coffee, and breathe. Inside, the warmth embraces you. Coffered ceilings and built-in cabinets speak of sturdy hands and quiet pride. The fireplace stands as a sentinel, hardwood floors welcome, and the woodwork—crown moulding and balustrades—whispers of handmade craftmanship. Sunlight streams through large windows, filling the living space with a gentle glow. The kitchen, thoroughly updated, holds onto its rustic heart with a large island - the true heart of the home. Modern touches—a suite of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash—blend seamlessly, providing the best of both worlds. Ascend the grand staircase to find four bedrooms, tranquil havens each. The primary suite offers an ensuite and a soaker tub gazing out over the water—a place to dream. The basement, a world of its own, promises evenings of laughter in the rec room, drinks at the bar, and secrets tucked away in storage. Out back, a sunny deck beckons, leading to a private yard and a large garage—now a games room. This is not just a house; it is a refuge, a testament to a life well-lived, a rare treasure by the harbour, enhanced by many modern upgrades

About
My family immigrated to Lantzville in the 1880s and I was born in the Old Hospital on Machleary Street in Nanaimo in the 1960s. I grew up in Nanaimo on Departure Bay Road–right across from Rock City School. My father worked at the Biological Station and every landmark brings back memories of a lifetime lived in the same area.
Licensed as a Realtor in 1993, I have been fortunate to be selling real estate and homes in and around the central island area for more than 20 years. Google Earth is amazing, and you feel like you can know a place pretty quickly, but nothing beats having footprints in all the corners. I’ve hiked the local mountains, swam in all the lakes and driven every road. I went to school here, had my first job here, and my dad taught me to drive here. I even remember going through the old A&W (now a Speedy Muffler).
I embrace integrity as the guiding principal to every decision I make. Quite possibly the most important aspect of my relationship with you is our communication. Clear, honest, timely, and accurate communication. As we work together, our relationship will evolve and change, but it’s important that the core value of mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s point of view will always remain.
My mission is simple: to promise a lot and deliver more. How do I do that? By communicating clearly, listening to my clients’ needs, providing remarkable service to clients while keeping in mind my guiding principles, and fairly representing my clients in the attainment of their real estate goals.
To put it simply, I never forget that I am working for you. I hold integrity, strength, honour, family, perseverance, patience, knowledge and balance as key aspects of my life, and apply those values to every part of my work as a real estate agent.
