Steps from downtown Nanaimo, this Victorian-style cottage offers walkable urban living with a private garden retreat. This circa-1888 home represents an important piece of Nanaimo’s history while being thoughtfully updated. Character details and original wood elements have been well preserved, complemented by recent improvements including freshly painted interior, updated bathroom, new kitchen lighting, refinished kitchen cabinets, painted stairs, and updated fixtures throughout. The exterior was repainted last year using high-quality Benjamin Moore paint, with the interior refreshed to the same standard. Enjoy ocean views from the covered veranda and relax in the level, landscaped backyard featuring mature perennials, spring bulbs, and a water feature. Located directly across from the Hullo ferry this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready heritage home in one of Nanaimo’s oldest and most vibrant neighbourhoods.
