A heat pump with three heads ensures year-round comfort, complemented by a newer septic system and a robust water setup that includes two wells and three cisterns for peace of mind. Outside, a charming grape arbour evokes the feel of a sun-drenched European courtyard, while multiple patios and tucked-away nooks invite you to linger with a book or share stories by firelight. The detached garage with a loft provides ample space for storage, hobbies, or future dreams. Whether you’re cultivating the gardens, gathering around the koi ponds, or savouring a glass of wine as the sun sets, life at 697 Crestwood Road feels like a getaway — yet it’s yours to call home every day.
