398 Petroglyph Cres Most listings promise a view. This one delivers it from practically every room. Tucked into a quiet corner of Newport Vista — Nanaimo's well-kept 55+ community on Petroglyph Crescent — this end-unit patio home sits elevated above the complex, giving you a front-row seat to the ocean, the mainland mountains, and the kind of sky that makes you linger over your morning coffee a little longer. The open living and dining area is spacious without feeling oversized — room for a proper dining table, a reading chair by the fireplace, and still space to breathe. Sliding doors open onto a generous balcony where the view doesn't stop, as you overlook the beautiful water views. The gas fireplace keeps winter evenings cozy. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped (fridge, stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher) with an abundance of solid oak cabinetry and a separate eating nook wrapped in windows overlooking the treetops — a genuinely pleasant place to eat. The primary bedroom with charming corner windows provides views, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private 3-piece ensuite with stand-up shower. The second bedroom is bright and well-sized, with large windows and direct access to the main 4-piece bathroom. In-suite laundry is tucked into its own utility room alongside a newer hot water tank and extra storage shelving. A built-in vacuum system and carport storage round things out. Single-level living. Wheelchair accessible floor plan. Reasonable strata fees. Walking distance to trails, parks, and everyday shopping, with easy Island Highway access.This is the one you tour and stop looking. (id:203)
