About This Property

Some homes seem to ask you to slow down the moment you arrive. Set among the trees on 18.9 acres in Dunrobin, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is one of them. Private, peaceful and the kind of character that makes a property feel discovered rather than simply visited. Inside, there's warmth to the architecture. Arched openings lead from one space to the next, while dark hardwood, exposed wood beams, wrought-iron railings and brick and stone give the home an almost storybook quality. Large windows draw the outdoors in, filling the rooms with natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. At the heart of the living room, a substantial stone fireplace feels made for long winter evenings. The inviting kitchen features farmhouse-inspired details, a central island, built-in appliances and generous cabinetry. An informal dining area and adjoining balcony create an easy place for morning coffee, family dinners or lingering meals with friends. Even the journey upstairs has a little magic to it. A half-level landing opens into an unexpected sitting area, wrapped in four large bay windows and full of light. A few steps further are four bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite, plus a 4-piece main bath. With 18.9 acres to call your own, there is space for ideas that simply aren't possible in most places. Make trails through the woods. Grow an ambitious garden. Tap the maples in spring. Build an outdoor rink when the snow arrives. Find the perfect spot for a firepit and spend summer nights under the stars. Take on the hobby you never had room for, let the kids disappear outside for an afternoon, or simply enjoy the rare luxury of having this much space around you. Despite the feeling of having escaped somewhere entirely different, you haven't left Ottawa. This is a place with room to breathe, explore and make your own; a home where life can be a little quieter, a little more playful, and perhaps even a little more magical.
