The tree-lined streets of New Edinburgh beckon - protected heritage and natural standards offer benefits on approach, with home's full-brick surround framed in age-old trees. Architecturally designed for timeless appeal with a hint of Georgian sensibility, three storeys rise with a nod to home's vantage across from the grounds of the Governor General's Residence, Rideau Hall.

A skylight at the top of the stairs floods the main entrance with natural light. Combined with large windows and high ceilings throughout, it's clear that abundant natural light is a priority in this home.
Timeless details like oak and crown moulding inject understated elegance in your day to day activities, while ample wallspace showcases favourite artwork.To the right, find every family's go-to gathering place. Beyond a dignified dining room complete with moulding-detail on the high tray ceiling, an open kitchen and eat-in area attracts social gatherings - both formal and informal. A large centre island and ample counter space means there's plenty of room for several sous-chefs during holiday meal prep. Nearby, the bright eat-in area handles post-school homework, early morning breakfasts and casual dinners with ease. A morning-sun orientation starts every day on the right foot. In the summer, enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the picture-perfect garden. It's peaceful, serene, and private.

Guests and family members alike will especially love the people watching that comes with the balcony overlooking the street here - grab your aperitivo and enjoy a blissful moment in the afternoon sun.
Rich oak floors continue up the staircase to the next level. Note the oversized landings as you rise. Three bedrooms, generous windows and main bathroom grant all occupants pure comfort. The primary suite offers something special - a verdant tableau with a view of the fireworks, a private balcony, double closets and a classic ensuite with soaker tub and walk-in shower. Preceding the remaining two bedrooms, find the perfect spot for a reading or homework nook. Both bedrooms are large, and one boasts a cheater door to the main bath as well as its own sitting area.
The lower level's garage access, laundry and storage are a jumping off point to more smart living space.
