Set in the Old City, this 1132sf rancher with suite emanates charm and character. The main living area is set at the back of the home and enjoys a southern exposed, flat yard with private lane (alley access). The renovated interior reflects personal touches which include custom stone and refinished original wood floors; the main living area is neatly divided from the 1 bedroom suite as this was a 3 bedroom home in an earlier life. The charm abounds with a sunken dining area accented with tile. The living room is comfortable and welcoming with a wood stove insert (airtight) in the original fireplace, recessed lighting, and ceiling fan. The adjoining island kitchen offers original rustic fir floors, peninsula pass through counter, double Bosch wall oven, and abundant cabinet space. The bathroom is spacious with soaker tub and laundry area. The 353 sf suite is also comfortable with one bedroom, small kitchen, and 3 piece bathroom. Both units are currently rented ($1531/m and $1090/m with shared utilities). Additional upgrades include wiring and plumbing, thermopane windows, and stacking washer and dryer. Partial basement is good for storage. The zoning is R15 - Old City Medium Density. This permits multi-family meeting form and character of the Old City.

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.
