About this home

Situated in the heart of Nanaimo, the historic Manson Residence is a beautifully restored character home honouring the city’s past while offering modern comfort. Recognized as the first stop on the Old City Heritage Walk, it stands as a landmark and rare offering. Inside, 14 foot cathedral ceilings and oversized windows flood the home with natural light. The main level features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a cast-iron tub, plus an open-concept living and kitchen area. Upstairs offers flexible space for a den, office, or studio, while the renovated lower level provides room for hobbies or storage. Outdoors includes a fully fenced yard with patio, gazebo and BBQ area, storage shed, and detached garage with exterior bathroom. Zoned DT8 (Old City Mixed Use), it permits residential and commercial use—an exceptional live/work opportunity. Thoughtfully renovated, this is a rare chance to own a meaningful piece of history without the uncertainty of renovations!
