1561 Thompson Ave

Welcome to this charming, updated rancher nestled in a serene corner of South Wellington! Relax into country living as you approach from a peaceful back road (Kimball Ave) and discover a spacious fenced yard boasting mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, a chicken coop, a shed, and ample room for your creative ideas. Alternatively, enter the 2 bedroom + den home from Thompson Ave to find an enclosed single-car garage and outdoor RV parking. Inside, step into a bright, airy space where natural light streams through abundant windows and skylights into the large living room and remodeled kitchen/dining area. The home's functional design features a den/office area, a dedicated laundry room, a bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, generously sized bedroom closets, and extra storage in the mud room. With many upgrades such as a newer septic tank, fresh interior paint, plus updated flooring, counters, cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, this is a great opportunity for first-time home buyers searching for a move-in ready home. Picture yourself plucking ripe apples from your yard and stepping through sliding glass doors to create a fresh pie. On sunny days, play ball with little ones or furry friends in the shade of the thriving garden trees. When you're ready to venture beyond this peaceful haven, you'll find endless options nearby such as tubing down Nanaimo River, mountain biking and hiking on local trails, golfing at Eaglequest, or ziplining at WildPlay Nanaimo. For your daily needs, amenities in South Nanaimo and Ladysmith (Country Grocer, Rona, post office, pharmacy, bank, etc.) are just a 10-minute drive away. And when your adventures take you further afield, you'll appreciate the convenience of Nanaimo Airport and BC Ferries nearby. Don't miss the chance to explore this cozy home!
