**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
