As featured in the Globe & Mail's "Home of the Week" (May 2026). One of the most unique homes in the city, offering spectacular views of Britannia Bay (aka Lac Deschenes) and the Ottawa River, with breathtaking sunsets enjoyed year-round. The open-concept design is centered around unique architectural elements, including cast iron panels & oak doors, bannisters, and newel posts from St. Andrew's Church. Lovingly maintained by long-term owners this exceptional home blends modern comfort w/timeless character across four spacious levels designed for everyday living & entertaining. The main level features a private primary suite with ensuite & 2 walk-in closets, an additional bedroom, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The showpiece second level offers 9+ ft ceilings, crown moldings & stunning hardwood floors. Nearly floor-to-ceiling cedar-framed wraparound windows capture west, north, and east exposures, filling the space with natural light & incredible views. The custom kitchen features quartz countertops, maple cabinetry, a diner-style bar & stainless-steel appliances. A sitting area with cast iron fireplace, versatile den or 3rd bedroom, and powder room complete this level, while original cast iron panels enhance the stairwell. The 3rd-level library with rotunda provides a unique retreat, perfect for a reading room, studio or workspace. The basement is completely renovated, enhanced & improved. It includes 3 finished rooms, a new 3-piece bath and laundry, offering a flexible living space. The laundry appliances & furnace are new. Two new state-of-the art back-low valves (storm & sanitary) complete the comprehensive protection of the home. An oversized garage with loft storage completes the home.
