About This Property

A storybook sort of three-bedroom detached home built in the 1940s, with a secret garden all long grass and tree swings, and a detached garage that's probably too small for your 21st-Century SUV, but with its exposed brick comes across like a Victorian potting shed. This pretty house has mahogany trim all over, as well as hardwood floors, a living room fireplace, a couple hundred pretty windows at least, and a functional retro kitchen the colour of a lime blancmange. It’s fantastic! And that's before you discover the sunroom at the back of the house that's like something out of a Merchant and Ivory film, or the alcove upstairs where perhaps you read, or knit, make art from wool. There is a gas boiler for heat, so the air barely moves unless it's to get out of your way, and there is a deck in front of the house (yes, in front!) so hidden by evergreens you could sit out there and count your good fortunes. Rideau Public School is just down the street and Winston Churchill is walkable, as are the downtown core and the Princess St shops.
