Welcome to 523 Kennedy Street—a charming 4-bedroom character home nestled in one of Nanaimo’s most established neighbourhoods. Originally built in 1910 with timeless appeal, the home was thoughtfully raised in 2009 to create a bright, spacious lower level featuring high ceilings, engineered hardwood flooring, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a flexible rec room or studio suite—ideal for hobbies, guest or additional income.
Upstairs retains much of its original charm, blending vintage details with contemporary touches and newer windows that fill the space with natural light. Step out onto the sun-soaked back deck to take in stunning mountain views, or enjoy the fully fenced yard complete with blueberry and raspberry bushes, small vegetable garden, and developed landscaping.
Offering 1,632 sqft of comfortable living space, the home also includes an updated kitchen, two full bathrooms, a gas furnace, gas stove, and a BBQ hookup on the patio—perfect for outdoor entertaining.
