Waterfront beauty meets Sandy Hill convenience in this urban town floating at the edge of an idyllic landscape. Maximizing the Rideau River and Strathcona Park site, the design frame is contemporary and smart. Light, quality and livability rule on all four floors. Enter via interlock drive and path, with garage, lane space for two more cars. Notice the brickwork and spatial blocking. Inside there a reception hall, powder room and family/den walking out to a private perennial patio. Upstairs, a turn reveals a living room with landscape-painting views complete with swans. The living room has hardwood, gas fire and a balcony. The dining space draws formality from detailing, quality crown moldings. High-end natural cherry cabinetry and granite define a kitchen featuring halogens, eat-in nook and pantry, plus powder room close by. The top floor master suite has cathedral ceilings, walk in closet space, full bath and office/den with gorgeous views. The basement rec-room has a shower, storage. With doorstep cycle path to this quiet corner of Sandy Hill all the city's best assets are walking/cycle close. To love.
