Just steps from downtown Nanaimos shopping, dining, seawall, and float plane terminals, this charming Victorian-style cottage offers a rare blend of walkable urban living and a seeing private garden retreat. Known as the Smith/Tait Residence and listed on the Community Heritage Registry, this circa-1888 home represents an important piece of Nanaimos early history while remaining thoughtfully updated for modern living. Inside, original wood elements and character details have been carefully preserved and complemented by recent improvements including freshly painted interior, updated bathroom, new kitchen lighting, refinished kitchen cabinets, and newly painted stairs. Additional upgrades include newer appliances, a washer and dryer with remaining warranty, and updated fixtures throughout including a new fan and light in the guest bedroom. The exterior was painted last year using high-end Benjamin Moore paint, with the interior refreshed to the same standard. Enjoy ocean views from the covered veranda and unwind in the beautifully landscaped, level backyard featuring mature perennials, spring bulbs, and a working water feature that creates a peaceful outdoor oasis. Located directly across from the Hullo ferry and within one of Nanaimos oldest neighbourhoods, this is a truly special opportunity to own a move-in-ready heritage home in a vibrant, connected setting. All measurements approx & must be verified if needed. (id:58753)
