Thoughtful built-ins, a gas fireplace, and sculptural lighting lend warmth and character. The spacious living and dining areas flow into a chef-inspired kitchen featuring charcoal cabinetry, warm wood accents, dramatic stone-look countertops, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, and a generous waterfall island with breakfast seating. Upstairs, a loft offers flexible space for a home library retreat. The primary retreat features a walk-in closet and luxurious ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub, dual vanity, and shower with dual rainfall fixtures. Three additional bedrooms, two sharing a 4-pc Jack-and-Jill ensuite, and the fourth with its own private ensuite. The fully finished lower level, with a separate side entrance, is ideal for an in-law suite. It has an expansive recreation area, a kitchenette with pantry storage and stainless steel appliances, a bedroom, and a three-piece bathroom. Outside, the private, south-facing backyard, surrounded by mature trees, is fully fenced and features a raised deck, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or everyday relaxation. The interlock driveway leads to the attached garage, which is roughed in for an EV charger. With several parks, top-tier schools such as Elmdale Public School, and all your daily necessities nearby, plus easy access to the Ottawa River Pathways, this home is ideal for families looking to live in Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhood!
