Beautifully maintained 2018sf two storey home with thoughtful interior plan and immaculate yard. The classy island kitchen overlooks the great room, with crown-molded Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counter top/breakfast bar on island, undercounter lighting, and tiled floor; side by side fridge, OTR microwave, and gas range are included. The living room is spacious and bright; built-in cabinetry and shelves surround the gas fireplace with corner and picture windows; this area shares beautiful hardwood floors with the eating nook. The nook is large and could double as a dining room; it has double French doors to the rear patio so you can walk right into your yard. A 15’x8 room off the nook was formerly a salon with its own French door, plumbing for sink, and access to the 1 ½ bay garage; possible storage/mudroom, or home based business. Off the foyer is the dining room which may double as a family room. The master is also on the main level; it features a picture window for lots of natural light, walk-in closet, and 5 piece ensuite with soaker tub and separate shower, Travertine tile counter tops and two sinks. The main level is completed by a powder and laundry rooms. The upper level offers an open den/flex room; this space is ideal for a media system, study, or exercise equipment; plus 2 more roomy bedrooms and a full bathroom. Crawl space, gas furnace and gas hot water tank. The yard is amazing: manicured lawns, varieties of shrubs and perennials, a covered front porch with swinging chair to add idyllic charm, extra large (470sf) patio – the exterior is both beautiful and welcoming. Backing onto a city park with its playground, pond and walking trails, you are set apart by a small canopy of trees to provide seasonal privacy. Located close to VIU, Aquatic/Ice Centers, Buttertubs Marsh Park and Trails, downtown, Bowen Park and with easy access to North Nanaimo amenities, Hawthorne Corner is a neighbourhood jewel.
