2445 Crystal Brook Way — Nanaimo, British Columbia

Set at the end of a calm cul-de-sac on a level 0.71 acre lot, this 3,600 square foot home was built for family life. Step inside to a warm, inviting space where a cozy gas fireplace anchors the living room, a perfect spot for friends and family to gather and unwind. Custom cabinetry and built-in shelving add character throughout. At the heart of the home is a professional, commercial grade chef's kitchen with a dual-fuel gas range, generous counter space, under-cabinet lighting, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. A massive mudroom gives busy families room for shoes and sports gear, and doubles as a gangway to the garage, smartly separating the main home from the carriage suite above. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms, two baths, and convenient upper-floor laundry. The spacious primary suite features a four-piece ensuite with his and hers vanities and a large walk-in closet. A main-floor fifth bedroom makes an ideal home office, and a huge family and media room gives everyone room to spread out. Above the oversized garage, a fully self-contained one-bedroom carriage suite offers its own eat-in kitchen, separate electrical and water, and no shared walls with the main home. It works well as a mortgage helper, guest space, or room for extended family. Comfort comes easy here. A newer heat pump, tankless hot water on demand, HRV ventilation, and Navien app control keep the home comfortable year round while holding running costs down. The home is EV charger ready with 200-amp service. Out back, enjoy a private patio with its own hot tub, a custom timber-frame covered patio for entertaining, and established fruit trees. The adjoining city park feels like a natural extension of the yard. Generous storage runs throughout, from the oversized garage to the full-length crawl space, with room to park the RV and all the toys. Measurements approximate, please verify if important. (id:63357)
