**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
Beijing, Sydney, Montreal are the cities where Selina Xia lived, and Nanaimo is the place where she calls home.
After completing a bachelor’s degree in Business English in Beijing and a master’s degree in Human Resource Management in Sydney, Selina began her career as an English Teacher in China, and published five books on English learning. In the meantime, she worked as a career planning teacher in a university, where she instructed a class in which all the students were survivors of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. Helping them step out of depression and find a goal in life was one of the most meaningful jobs Selina has done. After giving birth to her first child, Selina moved to Montreal. One year later, attracted by the mild climate and costal scenery, Selina and her family moved to Nanaimo, a charming island city.
Selina believes that there are two turning point in people’s life. One is receiving right education, the other is to buy and sell right real property at right timing. After turning 30, she found herself equipped with enough knowledge and resource for the later. Today, Selina devotes herself to the real estate industry and helps families realize dreams and build wealth.
