Property Description

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. The open-concept design is centered around unique architectural elements, including cast iron panels and oak doors, bannisters, and newel posts from St. Andrew's Church. Lovingly maintained by long-term owners, this exceptional home blends modern comfort with timeless character across four spacious levels designed for everyday living and entertaining.

A sitting area with cast iron fireplace, versatile den or third bedroom, and powder room complete this level, while original cast iron panels enhance the stairwell. The third-level library with rotunda provides a unique retreat, perfect for a reading room, studio, or workspace. The finished basement includes a recreation room, 3-piece bath, den, and laundry, offering flexible living space. An oversized garage with loft storage completes the home.
