About this home

Welcome to #8-1906 Bowen Road, a tastefully updated 2-bedroom townhome in the popular Willows complex. Whether you're purchasing your first home, downsizing, investing, or looking for a convenient location close to every amenity, this home deserves a closer look. The functional floor plan offers comfortable main-level living with two generous bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and laundry upstairs. The bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated with quality Schluter waterproofing products and the added comfort of electric in-floor heating. The current owner has invested in numerous quality upgrades, making this home truly move-in ready. The kitchen features a new Bosch 800 Series dishwasher with third rack and a new refrigerator, while the laundry room includes premium Wi-Fi enabled washer and dryer purchased less than two years ago. A new hot water tank was installed in the fall of 2024. Comfort and efficiency have also been enhanced with MYSA smart thermostats that can be individually programmed from your phone, helping maximize energy savings while participating in BC Hydro's Power Smart program. Ceiling fans provide added comfort during warmer months, and the bathroom also features a humidity-sensing exhaust fan. Step outside to enjoy your private patio—an ideal space for morning coffee, summer BBQs or relaxing with your pet. The home also includes an assigned parking stall (#10) and a separate storage locker. The location is hard to beat. Situated on the major bus route connecting Vancouver Island University and Woodgrove Centre, it's an excellent choice for students, professionals and anyone looking to reduce or eliminate the need for a vehicle. Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, shopping, restaurants, parks and other everyday amenities are all just minutes away. Rentals are permitted, small pets are welcome, and there are no age restrictions, making this an excellent opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. Simply move in and enjoy.
