Purchase a piece of Nanaimo nostalgia in historic Hawthorne Heights—the city’s first subdivision with curbs, marked by its grand rock entrance. This special property is one of just six original lots, arguably among Nanaimo’s finest, offering 100 feet of frontage on a generous 18,900-square-foot lot. On the market for the first time in 50 years, the home blends old-world charm with peace, serenity, and commanding views of Mount Benson. A large, south-facing picture window fills the front room with light and frames the view. Discover a true neighborhood gem in a close-knit community where everyone knows your name. With four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and abundant space downstairs for a rec room, gym, office, or play area, there’s room to grow and make lasting memories
