Timeless style, irreplaceable details and quality craftsmanship. New Edinburgh's 3 Avon Lane is a work of historical art, carefully curated to include the luxuries of modern living.
Nestled into one of Ottawa's oldest lanes, on a quiet, coveted block of inward facing properties, this stunning century home of wood boasts an impeccable coat of deep nautical blue, elegant white trim, recently replaced large and bright windows, including an enviable skylight, and brand-new roof. Follow a new interlock driveway, with parking for two vehicles, leading to flower beds and the pillars and intricate millwork of a welcoming and traditional covered front porch. »cont'd
A complimentary red front door, with panes of glass, opens to introduce a bright foyer full of wonderful natural light, fresh neutral paint tones and sleek, double-door coat closet. Pause to notice a feeling of deep connection to the past, that comes from standing on original floors of continuous and beautifully textured pine plank flooring.
Turn right to enter a sophisticated living space, meant to be photographed, but preferably enjoyed. Watch Canada's scenic seasonal changes through the front window of a refined sitting area, perfectly suited to either traditional or contemporary arrangements of both furniture and décor. An adjacent dining alcove introduces an oversized window, room for a handsome table and hutch, and showstopping rectangular light fixture.
Delight in discovering the convenience of an inviting main-floor full bathroom including a ceramic tile floor, pristine elements of white, and glass walk-in shower with mosaic tile walls. Steps further reveal the soothing cork floors of sunny eat-in kitchen, reputedly adored for daily coffee, meaningful discussions and nighttime entertaining. Position high-back plush stools around a substantial centre island, with electrical, wine fridge and microwave, to snack, work or dream. Enjoy all the benefits of high-end GE Café stainless-steel appliances, including a five-burner gas range and hood, refrigerator and dishwasher. An abundance of custom white cabinetry, featuring on-trend hardware, is accented by gleaming countertops, double sink, pendant fixtures and beautiful bespoke tile backsplash.
Fill a tray with drinks and snacks before opening glass doors out into a fully fenced-in, private wraparound backyard. A flagstone patio, framed by raised mulched beds of flowers and plants, mature trees and a bubbling pond make for a breezy, shaded and enviable urban escape. Guests will enjoy being served on the deck while the host barbeques in a corner nook. An attractive shed keeps everything tucked away and tidy.
Pristine wool carpet, in a luxurious shade of camel, grounds an original wood staircase up to a hallway lined with closets, skylight and chic well-chosen fixtures. Three spacious bedrooms invite endless possibilities for a generous primary, cushy home office, gym, guest space or family entertainment centre. Wash away all cares in a recently refreshed full bathroom featuring a deep freestanding soaker tub, spa-style glass shower stall, with both rainforest and hand-held shower heads, heated tile floors, double sinks, organized cabinetry, mirrors, fashionable decorative tile and window.
Further storage, laundry room and the opportunity for more are presented in a structurally upgraded basement, with stairs located near the kitchen. Work, exercise or consider creating a hobby or tool shop in a cheery separate lower-level room, just waiting for the ideal vision to be executed.
Life in one of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods can be truly idyllic. Greet friendly neighbours of all ages while strolling tree-lined streets on the way to excellent public and private preschools, primary and secondary schools. Recreational opportunities are endless thanks to running, walking and bike paths, tennis clubs/courts, fitness studios and the Rideau River.
Enjoy access to the prestigious public grounds of Rideau Hall, through a nearby side gate, to play in safe open green space, or ice skate in the winter. Play baseball, soccer, picnic and gather with other families at the Stanley Park playground. Sign up to participate in local programming and activities at community centres, churches or the library. Walk or hop on public transit for a straight trip downtown or to the Byward Market. Perhaps consider stopping for a bite at Tavern on the Falls or Union Café along the way. Shop and dine locally thanks to the restaurants, stores, coffee shops and amenities of Beechwood Village. Make an appointment to visit today!
