2940 Prince Of Wales Drive

About This Property

Looking for a rural feeling, with the convenience of the city? Set along Prince of Wales between Fallowfield and Merivale in the Rideau Heights pocket, where the Rideau River corridor keeps things green and quiet, this 1.7 acres, extensively updated sidesplit pairs an expansive lot with an interior that's anything but cookie-cutter. A freshly paved drive with room for all your cars, a detached 2 car garage, interlock front terrace and mature cedar hedging set a private, low-maintenance tone before you reach the door. Inside, the main living space rises under a vaulted, beamed ceiling finished with pot lights, wide-plank flooring and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone feature wall anchoring a linear fireplace. Iron-spindle stairs connect each level. The kitchen is crisp and modern: high-gloss slab cabinetry, black hardware, dark stone counters, subway tile, a chimney hood and stainless appliances. Then the home shows its character. The dining room is a genuine showpiece, with a coffered ceiling, exposed brick wall with arched openings, a carved marble mantel and a wall of windows over the yard, plus a barnboard-lined nook through the arch for coffee or cocktails. Four bedrooms include generous rooms with bright windows, crown moulding and double closets, while three full baths (two ensuites) serve the household; the primary offers a freestanding soaker tub with floor-mounted filler, marble-look tile and a shaker vanity. A unfinished basement leaves plenty of additional storage. Propane forced air, central air, well with water treatment and septic. Outside, the open lawn and shed give room for gardens, play or projects, and the covered shed is great for entertaining. Minutes to Barrhaven's shops and restaurants, the Merivale Road corridor and riverside parks, with Hunt Club, Highway 416 and downtown all within easy reach.
