The only traffic on Denford Place belongs to the neighbours, which is why the deer stroll it like their own. On a no-through road in North Nanaimo's Rocky Point, this home keeps the ocean a ten-minute walk away and a bright two-bedroom in-law suite under the same roof.

The main level runs on light. A large bay window fills the living room by day, and a natural gas fireplace takes over when evenings cool, making this the room the whole household drifts toward. The updated kitchen has its own gas fireplace too, along with quartz counters, a gas stove, a peninsula with seating, and an eating area. French doors open to the 22' x 13' deck, where the view over the landscaped, irrigated yard is the reason coffee takes twice as long. By evening the light turns gold, and the deck becomes the best seat on the street. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and an ensuite with a soaker tub. A second bedroom, a full bathroom, and access to the attached double garage complete the level, while a third bedroom upstairs suits guests, a home office, or a teenager who wants a floor of their own.

Downstairs, the suite has its own open-concept kitchen, dining and living area, a full bathroom, storage, and a covered patio, so extended family can live close and still close their own door.

Outside, mature landscaping, kept green by irrigation through the dry summer months, surrounds a fully fenced backyard, with room to park the RV and the boat. Walk to the shoreline in ten minutes for salt air before breakfast, spend an afternoon at Neck Point Park, then be at McGirr Elementary, Woodgrove Centre, Costco, restaurants, or the movie theatres within minutes. A newer roof, thermal windows, and a heat pump keep the house comfortable all year.

Come walk the street, then the shoreline, with eagles riding the air overhead, and picture it as your daily route. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing.
