Description
A rare opportunity in Nanaimo’s historic Old City, this fully restored Swiss chalet-style character home blends timeless charm with modern functionality. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully restored over the past several years, the home showcases exceptional attention to detail throughout, including updated kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes while carefully preserving its original character and warmth. The European-inspired kitchen features integrated appliances concealed within custom cabinetry for a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. The legal 2-bedroom + den suite is ideal for extended family or mortgage-helper income. This large lot with paved rear lane access provides excellent privacy and potential for a carriage house (buyer to verify). Ideally located within walking distance to downtown, transit, parks, restaurants, and Vancouver Island University, this is an incredible opportunity to own a beautifully cared-for home offering character, flexibility, and long-term value.
