Up a central walkway to a classic covered porch, the front door opens to a main floor flooded from end to end with natural light. Straight ahead, a stately living room welcomes; featuring fireplace, recently refinished oak flooring, authentic crown molding and coveted 9-foot ceilings.    Nearby, an unassuming door reveals a private office, den or library. Find peaceful backyard views, quiet concentration and the ideal place to take a call.     To the left, a bright sunroom with arched ceilings and windowed walls is neatly framed by pristine white California shutters. French doors with outdoor balcony access, complete the look asking whether this gem will be most enjoyed during twinkly evening dining experiences or sunny afternoons of reading, rest or play. Luckily there is no need to choose.    Waiting to serve on the right, a welcoming kitchen is ready for function, celebration and entertaining. A generous, sparkling island beckons all to gather for coffee, wine or the preparation of family meals. The best of old-world style is showcased in a custom range hood, translucent stained glass cupboard doors and exquisite standalone pantry.  Gleaming appliances stand at attention amongst the many drawers and cabinets needed to host a full supply of tools and ingredients. A raised space at the kitchen's quieter end, sets the stage for a large table, the plush chairs and bistro table of a breakfast nook or cozy couches of a family room.       Tucked toward the back of the house, a newly renovated mud room is happy to receive bags, coats, boots and muddy paws straight from the garage or backyard. Fresh, shiny, well-insulated, marble tiles provide indisputable evidence that opulence and utility are meant to co-exist. A matching powder room is perfectly positioned to freshen up, whether going out for the night, returning home from the day, or simply staying put.    At the top of the home's original and impressive main staircase appears an open landing and four sizable bedrooms, easily transformed into guest rooms or additional office space. Thoughtful design and high-quality construction have resulted in roomy, organized closets, offering the space desired most in newly built homes. The windows of every upstairs room, each having at least two, provide soothing natural views, akin to vacationing in a luxury treehouse.    Utility and a spa experience are prioritized in two full upstairs bathrooms. Privacy is enhanced by authentic European water closets, complete with thick, wooden pocket doors. With two sinks in each countertop, a jacuzzi tub and two showers total, mornings and evenings now bring the promise of efficiency, invigoration and relaxation.     For further respite, a handcrafted, cedar-lined staircase and basement, reminiscent to the senses of a Scandinavian chalet, holds a spacious entertainment room, suited to movies, games and a large sectional. A third full bathroom, laundry facilities and storage also occupy the lower level, with plenty of space leftover for a gym and more.    Contributing to this home's expanse of space is a breathtaking backyard, capable of hosting a play structure, patio, vegetable garden and perhaps even the dreamy swimming pool of your future.     Depart the driveway, by bike, foot or car to find tennis clubs, cross-country trails, swimming and parks. Walking distance from shopping, restaurants and Ottawa's best public and private schools, days requiring a commute can be greatly improved with a quick drive down forested Aviation Parkway.   With thoughtful design, care and meticulous craftsmanship at the helm for so many years, this incredible century home has been skillfully renovated to protect the best of the past and meet the needs of today.   Painted and finished in natural tones, perfect for the addition of personal touches, this home is move-in ready and waiting for you.
