Renovated Dream in Old Ottawa South

We wish all extensive renovations looked this good! This spectacular, picturesque Old Ottawa South home has a beautiful history. Built in 1897, Glengarden House is set on a beautiful 6,425-square-foot lot on a picturesque street just steps away from the vibrant retail and dining scene on Bank Street. Conveniently close to the Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club and the serene riverfront, this property offers unparalleled luxurious living in an exceptional location. The home itself underwent a gut renovation that was completed in 2024 and is both on trend and timeless in its design. The exterior was also re-landscaped to plan for privacy and convenient day-to-day living.

The exterior of this home commands attention with its striking white-and-black façade, exuding curb appeal. Inside, you’ll find an array of sophisticated design elements, from gracefully arched entries to European white oak floors that enhance the home’s upgraded aesthetic. The home has a dual mechanical system allowing for more control, with one system servicing the main floor and basement and the other servicing the top two floors.

The open concept living and dining room features a gas fireplace with a 3/4 inch thick marble mantle, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxation and entertainment. The heart of the home is the expansive open concept kitchen / family room, bathed in western light and offering long sightlines and great family space. The designer kitchen is a culinary dream, showcasing navy and grey cabinetry, pristine white marble countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances and a charming banquette seating area in the window. A feature coffee bar with display shelving adds a touch of luxury and convenience. The family room overlooks the spacious backyard and is anchored by a stylish built-in media unit.

Convenience is paramount with a mudroom off the kitchen providing access to the large back deck and a powder room with adjacent dog wash station. The versatile study has built-in cabinetry and its own side entrance / additional mudroom. This is a wonderful work from home space.

The second floor houses the laundry room and three bedrooms, including the expansive primary suite, complete with a large custom walk-in closet and a lavish ensuite bathroom with heated floors, a soaking tub, dual sinks and a glass-enclosed shower. The third floor offers a family room with a rooftop terrace, an additional bedroom and a full bathroom. This home would work amazing for multi-generational living. In addition to the third floor suite, the basement includes a self-contained apartment with its own kitchen / living room, separate entrance, bedroom, laundry machines and a full bathroom. The remaining basement space offers a great recreation room with wet bar perfect as a theatre room, or for playspace.

This home seamlessly combines style, functionality, and location, making it a true gem in Old Ottawa South. We are honoured to present Glengarden House, one of Ottawa’s true dream properties®.
