About the Listing 28140 - 258186

Welcome to an extraordinary offering on Ottawa's coveted south side-where timeless 1907 architecture is masterfully reimagined for modern luxury living. This impeccably curated 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath residence is a rare fusion of historic character and bespoke, magazine-worthy design, crafted for the most discerning buyer. A gracious covered front porch sets a sophisticated tone, inviting quiet mornings and elegant evenings. Inside, the grand foyer makes an unforgettable first impression, anchored by a meticulously restored staircase that serves as both a focal point and a tribute to the home's heritage. A discreetly placed designer powder room adds both convenience and refinement. The main living space unfolds into a stunning open-concept design, where natural light pours across refined finishes and thoughtful architectural details. Designed for elevated entertaining, the chef's kitchen is a true showpiece-centered around a striking white oak island, complemented by custom, full-height cabinetry and a seamless built-in refrigerator feature. Premium LG appliances complete the space with understated sophistication. The adjoining dining area flows effortlessly to a private rear deck and fenced yard, creating an indoor-outdoor experience synonymous with luxury living. The main-level primary suite offers a tranquil retreat, thoughtfully designed with both indulgence and function in mind. A spa-inspired ensuite features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities, while the expansive walk-in closet and optional in-suite laundry elevate everyday convenience. Upstairs, a second primary suite provides an equally luxurious sanctuary, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A spacious family lounge with a lighted tray ceiling offers a refined yet comfortable escape, while three additional bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bath complete the level. One bedroom opens to a private balcony-an unexpected and charming detail perfect for quiet moments above it all. Every element of this home reflects uncompromising craftsmanship and intentional design. From the refinished hardwood floors and custom porcelain tilework to the dual-zone HVAC system and entirely new electrical and plumbing infrastructure, no detail has been overlooked. The exterior has been completely transformed with a new roof, siding, and windows (2025), ensuring both beauty and peace of mind for years to come. The lower level offers additional flexibility with optional laundry, while the 2.5-car detached garage-complete with loft space and a dedicated subpanel-presents endless possibilities. Rare front parking adds convenience for guests or recreational vehicles. A paver patio completes the outdoor experience, offering a serene setting for entertaining or unwinding in style. This is more than a home-it is a statement of craftsmanship, heritage, and elevated living. Truly one-of-a-kind, and unquestionably exceptional.
