433 Poplar St A short stroll to the waterfront and across from an iconic family park, this classy, renovated home reflects the heart and soul of Nanaimo’s Brechin neighbourhood. The sellers created an oasis in their yard with a small waterfall, covered rear south-facing deck with separate woodstove, and even an outdoor nook to sip a coffee or read a book in genuine privacy. Lined with palm trees and banana plants only the warmth of Westcoast living offers, the front yard also has a patio to get some summer shade. Lots of parking and a single garage. Inside reflects a great plan: a bright foyer with 12’ ceiling greets you; the main level is tastefully updated with deep living room, contemporary paint colours, fireplace with electric insert, valance, and wired for surround sound. The dining and kitchen areas are cozy yet functional with built-in glass buffet, double French doors to your rear yard oasis, modern cabinetry with under counter lighting, tiled backsplash, gas range, quality appliances, double sink overlooking a truly unique small bay window, ideal for flowers or a small herb garden. Three bedrooms on this level are complemented by remodeled 5-piece bathroom. The lower level includes a large family room/home office, 4th bedroom, spacious laundry room with EE furnace, and 3 pc bathroom. A door to the garage completes this level. So many extra features include vinyl windows, 7-year-old roof, hardi-clad exterior, generator, irrigation system in rear, newer HWT, and upgraded perimeter drains. (id:203)
