About This Property

Under the canopy of two mature oaks and overlooking Patterson Creek, this historic home by W.E. Noffke is a Glebe treasure. Blending Edwardian Classicism, Spanish Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts, this grand estate has been lovingly restored and modernized. With a rich history of past occupants, like a former mayor of Ottawa, a baron of the mill industry and MP, an arctic explorer, doctors and world class classical musicians, what fantastic stories this home must have witnessed! Expansive and designed to impress, with beautiful panelling and woodwork throughout, grand proportions and stunning views, the home transports you to a golden age. Colourful light filters through the stain glass windows on the grand main stair and sumptuous front hall. Soak in the views in the amazing sun room, or retreat to the privacy of the library for a cozy read by the gas fire place. The ground floor is an entertainers dream with a large and gorgeous kitchen, huge living (with another gas fireplace) and dining areas that spill out to the back terrace. The many bedrooms upstairs offer versatility and can be used as guest bedrooms, offices or studios, while the primary bedroom suite - with mirrored walk in closet and massive ensuite bath - is fitz for a king! This is one of the most prestigious and historic architectural homes in the Glebe and you can write it's next chapter! There is a tenanted basement suite with separate access through a side door. The basement tenant does not have use of any parking or yard space. Laundry/storage is located in the basement in a large and exclusive use room.
