Property for Sale

Superb design and a premium ninth floor south-west orientation shape this very fine condominium – a crown jewel in a building known for superlatives. Certain distinctions make an impression even before you reach your front door. There are no dark hallways: the entrance to your home is situated at the end of a wide glazed hall looking out on a living rooftop garden.


Notice how the understated L shape entranceway creates privacy. Details catch your eye: marble flooring, a narrow vertical window placed to add a dash natural light. Beyond, a broad reception hall manages the transition between public and private. A wide hallway leads to the formal living room, passing the beveled glass French doors of the home's media room and den. Glance within: it's easy to imagine evenings engaged in candid conversation, catching up on reading or savoring the media's coverage of a strategic victory.

The elegantly proportioned L shaped living and dining room quietly astonish with "reach-out and-touch-it" views of the great national icons. Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring asserts warmth and character. Outside Confederation Square stands framed by the detailed façade of the restored Central Chambers building. Due south, the columns of the old Conference Centre testify to endurance, while the famed Rideau Canal sparkles with light. In summer pleasure craft line the quays. In winter the canal becomes the world's longest urban skating rink -- a carnival of color and life.

The dining area has ample space to host tour-de-force diner parties. Behind the scenes, a spacious galley kitchen makes gastronomic triumphs effortless, thanks to extensive granite-topped counters and ample storage cabinetry, plus high end appliances, including a double oven range and space for up to four chefs to work ensemble. And when there's no time to devote to food from the steps-away farmers market 'order in' from one of dozens of nearby restaurants.

No matter how busy your schedule, you'll want to spend time in this kitchen's family-scaled breakfast nook, drinking in the unmatched scene. Time your canal-side jogging route to pass a parade of changing guards or simply get psyched for your in-house work-out. At 700 Sussex every amenity awaits. And when it's time to unwind, everything from cinemas to the symphony plus dozens of clubs, and restaurants are minutes from your door.

Private space is exceptionally well defined in this condominium. Double doorways open to create long interior vistas, close to assure that no one's sleep is disturbed. The impressive master suite takes in the fairy-tale castle rooftops of the Chateau Laurier through floor to ceiling windows. A door to the solarium style office offers a discrete second entrance. The ensuite assures relaxation via rain shower with glass surround, double sinks on a marble countertop, plus therapy tub – all in a contemporary interior defined by earth tones and softly textured ceramics. An expansive guest room offers stellar views too, plus ensuite-style access to a sleek master bath, also accessible from the hallway to serve as a guest powder room.

Few can hope to experience the pleasures and possibilities of a premiere urban home poised effortlessly on the pulse of national prestige and power. If unsurpassed comfort and understated confidence agree with your plans to conquer capital living, plan your personal viewing very soon.
