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 built around architectural elements, including cast iron panels and oak doors, bannisters and newel posts originally from St. Andrew's Church. Lovingly maintained by long-term owners, this exceptional residence blends modern comfort with timeless architectural character across four expansive levels designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level features well-appointed sleeping quarters including a spacious primary suite complete with a private ensuite and two walk-in closets, an additional bedroom, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The true highlight of the home is the open-concept second floor; an extraordinary space with 9+ ft ceilings, crown moldings, and stunning hardwood floors. Nearly floor-to-ceiling cedar-framed wraparound windows capture west, north, and east exposures, filling the home with natural light and showcasing the surrounding views. The custom-built kitchen offers quartz countertops, maple cabinetry, a diner-style bar, and stainless-steel appliances. A sitting area with a cast iron fireplace, versatile den or third bedroom, and powder room complete this level, while historic cast iron panels wrap around the stairwell, adding architectural charm. The third level library with rotunda provides a special retreat; ideal as a reading room, studio, or workspace. The fully finished basement includes a spacious recreation room, 3-piece bathroom, additional den, and laundry room, offering flexible living space for family or guests. An oversized garage with loft storage completes this remarkable home. Step outside to enjoy year-round recreation - run, hike, ski, or kitesurf - and walk to nearby amenities. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property in an unbeatable waterfront setting. Offers March 31. 6 hours irrevocable. (id:59142)
