Designed with a profound understanding of the art of entertainment, 63 Queen Victoria tempts you to envision hosting sumptuous gatherings. Step through a spacious foyer, where warm terracotta tiles blend with a copper-lined display alcove. Look all the way up to the bright skylight from the top floor and wonder at how the winding staircases frame it so perfectly. Every corner of this home, from the spacious kitchen to the rooftop garden, beckons with allure and intrigue. As a case in point: you feel yourself drawn to the kitchen, a professionally designed chef's dream, with wraparound stainless-steel countertops, high end appliances, a limestone island studded with fossils, recessed lighting, and custom German cabinetry. Little touches of romance will make you want to spend long afternoons here: the darling coffee nook, double sinks, and the way that the architectural lines around the kitchen island mirror the view out onto the foyer. Transition seamlessly to the generous, secluded cedar deck, guarded by the resplendent inflorescence of local flowering trees and shrubs. From here, you can either step on the flagstone alongside the home to the pretty landscaped front yard or walk back into the home to find a sunny, versatile lower level with tons of storage, and the generous, insulated private garage off the main level. Up the grand staircase, the living area unfolds with an effortless grace, featuring a floating concrete hearth and wood fireplace, exposed brick, and original hardwood floors that echo the mid-century modern aesthetic. Dual corner windows open onto the regal Governor General's residence on one side, and the jocund Stanley Park with its symphony of ducks and laughing children on the other side. When your guests start to wind down for the night, invite them to the two large bedrooms and private bath on the next level up. Here, behold views of historic landmarks and lilacs from spacious bedrooms, each a haven of comfort with surrounding lush evergreens. Meanwhile, outside, the quaint River Lane offers a glimpse into the warm red brick of neighboring homes, enhancing this intimate escape. For your own comfort, discover the primary bedroom, a sanctuary that commands the entire floor. Like the living area below, corner windows frame expansive bird's eye views of the delightful neighborhood, offering you a front-row seat to fireworks, the Peace Tower, and the natural beauty of Gatineau Park. This private retreat is thoughtfully equipped with a walk-in closet, convenient laundry, a shoe closet, and an ensuite bath, ensuring every need is within reach. The crowning jewel of this magnificent home is the rooftop garden. Set up your three-seasons planters: you will want to spend as much time here as possible under the vast, open sky.
