This magnificent classic residence is one of the most admired properties to come on the Rockcliffe Park market. It is situated in a prestigious location in the Old Village, is surrounded by large estate properties, and has views of the Ottawa River and National Capital Commission parkland with its mature trees and foliage. Outstanding curb appeal is tempered with the privacy ensured by a beautifully kept mature hedge with a unique portal. The property has over 146 feet of frontage and comprises over 16,000 square feet of land. It enjoys both southern and western exposures and light fills the house from morning to evening. The residence has had only four owners in its 104-year life and during this span it has been maintained and improved sympathetically to spectacular advantage. The residence comprises three storeys and includes an attached coach house and private guest suite. There are compelling views of the gardens, parkland and the river from all principal rooms.
As will be seen from the images, this beautiful residence would suffer from any attempt to describe its features in words. Simply, the main floor has hardwood floors, nine-foot five-inch ceilings, and extensive architectural details. The entry is magnificent and is supported by a large, welcoming foyer. The living room, dining room and family room all have beautiful crown moldings, ceiling roses, and deep baseboards with detailing. Columns frame the entrance to the living room, which has an electric fireplace with decorative marble surround and built-in bookcases. Entry to the spacious dining room is through beautiful leaded glass French doors, and this space also benefits from a wood-burning fireplace with slate hearth and marble surround. The kitchen is modern, bright and functional with its granite counters, hardwood floor, butler’s pantry and lovely eating area. It accesses the back gardens.
There is a large family room with leaded glass French door entry, wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases and French doors to the sunroom and side gardens and patio. The adjacent sunroom is flooded with natural light and features a flagstone floor, cast-iron fireplace and shuttered windows. The office has a warm feel with its amazing curved, paneled walls and built-in bookshelves. A powder room, a cheery sewing room, and a well organized laundry complete the main floor.
The second floor is home to the master bedroom suite which carries through the main-floor themes with its crown molding, deep baseboards, hardwood floor, and wood-burning fireplace. Master suite amenities include two large dressing rooms each with two closets, and a lovely, spacious ensuite bathroom. There are three additional, well-sized bedrooms on this level and each has numerous features to recommend it. A family bathroom attends to these bedrooms. The third floor has two large bedrooms and an associated family bathroom. A third bedroom comprises a private suite as it has its own sitting room and shared ensuite bathroom.
The basement is home to a recreation room, an eighth bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a family bathroom, and lots of storage space. The coach house is the piece de resistance as it comprises an attached but completely private guest suite with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
