About This Property

Tucked away in Ottawas coveted Golden Triangle, just steps from the Rideau Canal, this stately three-storey all-brick turn-of-the-century home blends historic charm w modern updates. This home underwent an extensive, architect-designed renovation in 2019, led by John Donkin in collaboration with Crossford Construction, a GOHBA Housing Design Award winning firm. The large-scale transformation included relocating the kitchen from the second floor to the main floor, a complete gut to the studs on the main level, all-new plumbing, a new electrical panel w rewiring throughout & a rebuilt back brick wall. High-quality finishes were thoughtfully incorporated, including white oak flooring throughout most of the home, w original pine preserved in the third-floor primary bedroom & red oak in the secondary bedroom (2013) & new oak stairs. A Vermont Castings wood stove adds warmth & character to the main floor. Wall to wall windows stretch across the main floor, overlooking your covered deck & large backyard w lush gardens, mature trees & low maintenance stone work. The second-floor living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, offers flexible, gallery-like space with a balcony overlooking a quiet, leafy street and canal views. Off the second-floor family room, a versatile den/office with nearby bath and private balcony could easily serve as a bedroom. Upstairs, a unique bedroom w balcony, separate areas & 3 pc ensuite; down the hall, an updated bathroom & a lrg primary suite w soaring ceilings, oversized windows & walk-in closet.
