36 Kensington Crescent, Belleville

Some homes check the boxes. This one changes the way family life feels. Tucked away on a quiet mature street, with little through traffic, 36 Kensington Crescent is a five-bedroom side split offering space, privacy and an exceptional backyard retreat. Backing onto greenspace with no rear neighbours, the property features a saltwater pool, hot tub and large deck. Lovingly maintained by the same family since 2014, the home is surprisingly spacious. Its multi-level layout gives a busy household room to come together while allowing everyone space of their own. Five bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, work-from-home space or older children. The bright kitchen, dining and living areas run east to west, bringing morning light into the kitchen and afternoon sun into the living room. The kitchen offers generous counter space, a granite-topped island and built-in beverage cooler. Handcrafted West Coast Red Alder hardwood flooring and wood trim add warmth and character throughout. The backyard is where this property truly stands apart. It feels larger and more private than the lot suggests, with a large deck, saltwater pool and included Hydropool hot tub creating an outdoor living space designed for summer days and evening gatherings. The pool has been thoughtfully updated, including a new salt system and pump in 2024, liner and cover in 2025, and gas heater in 2026. Additional updates include a new roof in 2021, furnace and central air in 2023, and a renovated ensuite with walk-in shower in 2026. An attached double garage provides direct interior entry, while the driveway accommodates up to four vehicles. Kensington Crescent is quiet, with little through traffic, yet schools, parks, sports fields and the YMCA are close by. Highway 401 is approximately 10 minutes away. What is harder to capture on a listing sheet is the feeling of looking past your own backyard and not seeing another row of houses. That's 36 Kensington Crescent.
