Never before on the market, this stunning West Coast bungalow has been owned by three generations of the same family! Located on a corner lot in the sought after neighbourhood of Qualicum this unique stone fronted home offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a quiet enclave of homes with easy access to all the amenities of West Ottawa. Attractively landscaped on the outside, the spacious entry foyer opens to dramatic living and dining rooms with soaring beamed ceilings and walls of gleaming BC fir, enhanced by a rustic stone fireplace and bathed in light by floor to ceiling windows. Adjacent to the spacious dining room, the compact kitchen leads to an appealing separate breakfast room which offers views of the private garden. A laundry option in the kitchen is duplicated in the lower level for your preference. A large three season sunroom which lies between the house and the detached double garage can be accessed from both the dining room and breakfast room. A wide hallway leading off the foyer comes to a cozy family room overlooking the deck and garden, and beyond this are three generous bedrooms & main bathroom. The primary bedroom has a 3 piece ensuite. All bedrooms are of a generous size with large windows. The open stairs in the foyer lead to a huge basement which has both finished and unfinished areas.
