Cross Streets: Aleutian Rd & Chinook Cres. ** Directions: From Richmond Rd, turn onto Nanaimo Dr, turn onto Aleutian Rd, then turn onto Chinook Cres. Welcome to 13 Chinook Crescent, an exceptional custom residence on one of Qualicum's most coveted crescents. Set on an unusually large, beautifully landscaped lot, this remarkable home was conceived by renowned Ottawa architect Barry Hobin and crafted by Doug Casey of Charlesfort Construction. Built in 1993 and lovingly maintained by its original owners, the home offers an extraordinary combination of scale, privacy, thoughtful design and timeless detail. A striking entrance with brand-new custom door and sidelights, complemented by a double garage and convenient side entrance. Inside, soaring ceilings, skylights, plaster cove mouldings and strip oak hardwood floors enhance the principal rooms. The impressive dining room features ceiling height and French garden doors to the rear grounds, while the spacious living room offers a wall of windows and custom stained-glass accents. A custom main-floor office features serene garden views. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen with a centre island, custom grey-stained oak cabinetry, abundant storage and premium appliances. It flows into an eating area and spacious family room with a gas fireplace. A screened porch overlooks the deck and gardens, creating a three-season retreat. Upstairs, a dramatic open "bridge" overlooks the dining room. The private primary suite features soaring ceilings, a Juliet balcony, a walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite with a Roman tub, custom shower and double sinks. Two additional bedrooms, an upper-level laundry room and excellent storage complete this level. The unfinished lower level offers exceptional storage and future potential. Outside, mature landscaping, a rear deck, and wrought-iron gates create a remarkably private setting. Minutes from Queensway Carleton Hospital, Bayshore, the Queensway, recreation and Ottawa's waterfront destinations, this is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home in one of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods.
