Description

This lovingly cared for home was built by the original REALTOR for Madrona subdivision. Realizing this was the perfect place to live due to it's unique microclimate and knowing they couldn't afford to live on the ocean, across the street seemed perfect. A short walk and they were on the beach! This home was built to enjoy the sun & be protected from prevailing winds, so it's oriented to the backyard, and has big overhangs to protect from the wind and rain. The street and area is quiet and feels “upscale rural”, but jump in the car and in 12 minutes you are in North Nanaimo, or in 6 minutes you are in Parksville, with all the shopping you need!

The home is extremely affordable to live in, (heat & air conditioning, power, water, septic, garbage, taxes and lawn cutting averages about $400 a month!). You could use the studio for extra revenue as a nightly B&B or monthly rental.

The current owners decision to move on after 35 years is your opportunity! We love ex-REALTORS cause they make great sellers, as they do all the right things to get their homes ready to sell. This home is clean, fresh and ready to move into. We rarely get rancher style homes in this price range this well cared for and maintained especially in the Madrona area.

The open floor plan lets you visit while you are entertaining, but the mess can be hidden! The rancher style means the living is on one floor and it's not too big to look after, but you have great guest space in the 4 year old studio, and plenty of storage with a double garage and 3 ½ ft crawl space. This is the type of home that your friends say “If you’re ever going to sell, let me know!” and that helps you realize just how wonderful it is to be in this unique area. This owner's lifestyle change is the reason this place is for sale, so make sure you see this home. There are things you can do over time to improve the value of this home but it is move in ready! Ask us, we always have lots of ideas!
