Hawthorne House is nicely situated in a quiet new neighborhood close to downtown Nanaimo and Nanaimo Parkway Highway for easy car access up and down the island.

Map & Owner's Profile
Fabulous 4 Bdrm Home in Prime Location Best Value in Nanaimo
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Nanaimo
We chose this very central location in Nanaimo because it was close to everything in a safe and quiet new neighbourhood. In the summer season it becomes a home away from home for visitors wanting to explore what Vancouver Island has to offer from a comfortably furnished home with lovely private outdoor space.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It is easy to get anywhere in Nanaimo or explore Vancouver Island from here because it is close to the Nanaimo Parkway and a five minute drive from downtown. This home is very close to walking and biking trails that lead in four directions to many of the attractions in Nanaimo. It has more comforts and ammenities that most rentals because it is owner occupied for most of the year. The well equipped kitchen and big screen TV are features of this bright and open home with lovely patio and yard.

Owner's Map of Nanaimo
Our family lives in Vancouver BC. Initially we wanted a home for our daughter to live in while attending Vancouver Island University and because we are thinking of retiring to the Island we felt this would be a good way to get to know the area. We fell in love with this charming well built home in a great new neighbourhood close to VIU. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
