53 MANITOULIN Crescent Who needs a cottage when you can come home to this every day? Welcome to a classic brick Georgian home nestled on one of Chicopee's most cherished streets—a place where neighbours become friends, children play until the streetlights come on, and community thrives. Backing onto a peaceful, protected pond and lush greenspace, with no rear neighbours, this property offers a rare connection to nature just steps from the Grand River and some of Waterloo Region's most breathtaking trails. Meticulously maintained and upgraded throughout, this 4+1 bedroom, 4-bathroom home seamlessly blends timeless architecture with sophisticated contemporary design. Sunlight pours through expansive windows and a stunning skylight, illuminating light hardwood floors, a beautiful white kitchen with granite countertops, renovated bathrooms, and high-end finishes throughout. Upgrades include enhanced insulation and new premium windows (Bavarian Windows, 2023) to the composite deck (2020), where panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape provide a beautiful backdrop for morning coffee, summer entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The fully finished walkout lower level offers exceptional versatility, with wonderful potential for an in-law suite. And then there's the backyard. Private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, it's a retreat that transforms beautifully with the seasons. From lush summer greenery and spectacular autumn colours to the quiet magic of winter. Imagine winter days by the pond, followed by a steaming cup of hot chocolate on your own deck, surrounded by a picture-perfect winter landscape. For those who love to ski or snowboard, Chicopee Ski Resort is just a short walk away, making this a remarkable setting for year-round outdoor living. This is more than a beautifully renovated home. It's a lifestyle rarely found within city limits. A place to gather, grow, make memories, and feel a world away without ever leaving home. (id:203)
