5 beds · 3 baths · 3555 sqft
Privacy and serenity, what dreams are made of. Enjoy the unique lifestyle that comes with living on one of the Gulf Islands while still having an easy commute to Nanaimo & Vancouver Island. This Protection Island character home is nestled in the trees and backs onto Smugglers Park. With 5 bedrooms (possibly 6) and spacious common areas, this home is ideal for a large family. There is plenty of room for a home office for those who work from home. The previous owners home schooled their children and had space for both a classroom area & play room. There have been many updates throughout the home, including a heat pump, maple kitchen cabinets, large main bathroom, balcony and expansive decks. Brand new laminate flooring is installed in the foyer, kitchen, dining and family rooms. The large kitchen, with wide family nook, two pantries, and lots of cupboard and counter space, is designed to allow for multiple people to work together while not being in each others way. The spacious dining room is ideal for lingering over dinner and chatting with friends. A bright and spacious upstairs library/ games room opens out onto a sunny balcony. A ramp to the wrap around deck and front door make this home wheel chair friendly. Inside you will find high ceilings, wide hallways, and spacious rooms. Did you know Protection Island has some city of Nanaimo utilities? This is an added bonus not found on other islands. The bonus room, bedroom with 2 piece ensuite and other bedroom/den would be a perfect air BNB if you want to have a portion rented out during the high season. Welcome to Protection Island- feel like you are a million miles away from civilization and yet you are just a short ferry hop away! (id:39198)
