2046 Dorval Avenue, Ottawa

Beneath a soaring canopy of mature trees, where sunlight dances through the leaves and birdsong fills the air, this charming bungalow in highly sought-after Alta Vista offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the city. It's the kind of property that captures your heart from the moment you arrive. An extra-long driveway meanders toward the home, while perennial gardens, a beautiful blushing magnolia, and a welcoming front porch create exceptional curb appeal.

Inside, warm hardwood floors and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious living room is bright and welcoming, with large windows that draw the outdoors in. Just beyond, the generous kitchen welcomes both cooking and gathering. A direct walkout connects the kitchen to the backyard, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

And what a backyard it is...

Rarely does a property offer such a magical outdoor setting. The rear grounds unfold like a private woodland retreat, enclosed by mature trees and lush greenery that create an extraordinary sense of seclusion. At its heart stands a magnificent tree whose graceful branches form a living canopy above a charming patio seating area. Every view feels immersed in lush, quiet beauty.

The bright, large primary bedroom delights with its hardwood floors and sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear deck. Wake each morning to leafy views and step outside to enjoy the fresh air before the day begins. A spacious second bedroom provides excellent accommodation for family or guests, while a third room offers flexibility as a home office, nursery, study, or creative studio.

The lower level expands the home's versatility with a finished room ideal for recreation, hobbies, work-from-home living, or fitness space, complemented by a convenient powder room. Beyond this, the expansive lower level offers exceptional storage, workshop space, and exciting potential for future development.

Adding even more value is the detached garage, perfect for tools, recreational equipment, or workshop use for the avid gardener or hobbyist.

Solidly built and beautifully situated, this is a home that combines comfort, flexibility, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Mature trees, enchanting gardens, a welcoming front porch, and a private woodland backyard come together to create a property that feels less like a house and more like a sanctuary.
