3606 OVERLOOK DRIVE, Nanaimo, British Columbia V9T1M6

Panoramic ocean, Pipers Lagoon and coastal mountain views, from both levels of a 3,062 sq ft home in Hammond Bay. Set in an elevated hillside position, this 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2008, and the quality still shows. The main level is framed by matching double pane picture windows that hold the water in view, over gleaming Brazilian cherry hardwood, a custom trim package and built ins throughout. The kitchen was deliberately positioned to face the lagoon while you cook, with granite counters, edge grain cherry cabinetry with birch interiors, a large eating island and a pantry, and the dining room opens through a sliding glass door onto the ocean view deck. Both main level bedrooms have their own ensuite, the primary with a walk in closet and 6 piece bath, plus a 2 piece powder room and a dedicated laundry room. In floor heat runs through every bathroom, served by natural gas hydronic heating. Downstairs, a legal suite authorized by the City of Nanaimo has its own kitchen, its own laundry, a separate 100A electrical panel and the same ocean view, with one room over 25 feet long that works as a bedroom, rec room or office. Upper and lower levels close off completely, so extended family or guests keep their own space. Level entry from the driveway means no step to the front door. Cork flooring in the bedrooms, 150A service, copper plumbing, municipal water and sewer, and roof, vinyl windows, wiring and plumbing all dating to the 2008 renovation. Outside, a vinyl ocean view deck for sunrise and sunset, a poured concrete retaining wall, 2 parking spaces and multiple carports on a 7,219 sq ft lot. Pipers Lagoon Park, Neck Point Park, waterfront trails and beaches sit minutes from the door, with North Nanaimo shopping and everyday conveniences a short drive away. Room to spread out, a view from nearly every main living space, and a separate level that gives a household real flexibility. Measurement is approximate. (id:39198)
