Wake up to the sights and sounds of nature, watching the sun glint off the backyard pond where both local wildlife and the active-minded congregate for their morning habits. Coffee in hand, you can decide to join the early-risers or sit back and enjoy the view. Welcome to your morning routine - no longer reserved for the cottage-dwellers. »cont'd
A 20 minute drive finds you in the heart of Ottawa's centre, while 5 minutes out the door yield every day conveniences; groceries, local gyms, hardware stores, restaurants, Starbucks and recreation centres - tranquility without sacrifice. On a quiet crescent, home salutes its surroundings; natural stone in calming neutral tones punctuated by black accents in the roof, double front and garage doors, and even on the walkway risers leading to the chic portico. No details are overlooked, soon to be proven upon first steps inside.
Over the threshold, Brazilian porcelain in grey and white tones sets the theme for the balance of the interior; chic neutrals, gunmetal hardwood floors, high ceilings, contemporary baseboards upgraded to 6 inches, UV treated windows and custom solar blinds throughout. Subtle luxury finds its way into both small, and large features: punched out windows and rooflines maximize natural vistas, reconfigured walls amplify sightlines to back yard and pond views, a smart open layout combines personal and private spaces with grace and ease.
To the left, an independent home office offers up a picturesque street view for moments of inspiration - know that a personal library, den, or playroom would be equally gratifying here. In the main hall, take a moment to appreciate the open to above spiral staircase that makes its way through all three levels. Formal entertaining spaces to the left are bookended by lovely tableaux - start the evening with an aperitivo in the living room, its equilateral footprint makes furniture placement and entertaining a breeze. Then take conversation under a thoughtful archway to the dining room, where everyone gets a view of the verdant parkland, wildlife and pond beyond - don't worry, it promises never to be developed so you can wow guests every time. Inevitably, the party always moves to the kitchen and here, the most sophisticated chef will rejoice. A sweeping footprint yields an oversized island with double sink, ready to prep culinary delights. Ample cabinetry is an understatement - every kitchen gadget has its place and is easily accessible. Double ovens round out a functional checklist, but this kitchen also has style in spades; black granite flooring, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash in cool tones plus custom-chosen black glass hardware leaves this an incredible place to prep and socialize in. The best part? The added solarium-like eat-in zone, where your morning java is accompanied by nature's best and days end with glorious sunsets.
Nearby, the family room's cozy fireplace and park and pond views are a magnet for leisure time; movie-night with your 4K 65 inch flat screen, hosting teammates - there's nothing this space can't handle. Extend the first level outside during summer months and enjoy a Gluckstein Home pergola with retractable roof set on a two tier composite deck. There's room for alfresco dinners while you watch the sunset over the pond - nature is at your doorstep. Back inside and off the main hall, family functionalities are found; a powder room, garage access and mudroom with laundry plumbing roughed in. Upstairs, four bedrooms are centered around the open to below staircase. A second floor laundry makes the chore pleasant in this open space, but know that replacement flooring is on site should you wish to move this to the main level. Three bedrooms feature plush carpet, generous footprints and gorgeous natural light. The largest boasts a bright ensuite and walk-in closet - overnight guests may never want to leave. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a main bath finished with a chic Travertine vessel sink, floating shelves and calming neutrals.
Your master refuge awaits behind double doors and promises relaxation and comfort of epic proportions. Bookend your days with time in the sitting area - specially designed with added windows to take in verdant views - "me" time is always on the menu. It's like a dream. A sweeping walk-in keeps clutter at bay - the wall mounted 65 inch flatscreen competes only with the sunset for your attention. Watch both from the comfort of your bed. Spa-like vibes in the ensuite ensure ultimate relaxation all 7 days of the week. The soaker tub vantage is indulgent, while the double vanity with undermount sinks and oversized walk-in shower handle daily ablutions with aplomb. It's all kitted in 32 inch Turkish porcelain, chrome and quartz. Soothing greys and whites finish this private haven.
The floor plan ends in the basement, where large windows and an equally sprawling footprint promises unlimited possibilities. Let your imagination and decor dreams run wild.
Enjoy the endless possibilities of a home that offers the best of both worlds - create your family dream home amidst the sounds of nature's serenity. Close enough to amenities yet with plenty of green space to explore, this is a rare gem full of promise.
