Ottawa's changing seasons are best enjoyed in the company of nature, storied architecture, and a thriving community. Look no further than the leafy-green streets of the Glebe, where Ottawa's elite weave themselves into the fabric of the city's future.

Discover 230 Fourth avenue, a home that could easily find itself in the pages of Dwell Magazine and Architectural Digest. Red brick frames original leaded windows with soldier arch detail - a nod to home's interwar provenance. Thoughtful landscaping welcomes and draws the eye to the front entrance with classical portico - guests immediately appreciate a sense of stylish serenity with every arrival.

Over the threshold and beyond a traditional vestibule, the L-shaped staircase sets the scene: unrivaled design detail, classic proportions, and effortless flow. Find practicality and finesse all under one roof. Natural light and meticulous attention to detail are everything - find a home that is profoundly conscious of their benefits. Finishes and updates have been carefully chosen and balanced with original features for a flawless effect. Original hardwood and select leaded windows, re-imagined layouts and smart home environmental controls conveniently combine the cachet of historic relevance with 21st century comforts.

Find formal entertaining spaces at the front of home, ingenious for separating family goings on from adult time. A beautifully turned out powder room with brass fixtures and cultured marble serves pragmatic needs. The formal living room maintains an inviting feel with a working original fireplace. Adjacent, the dining room with custom millwork and expertly hung wallpaper echoes the living room's elegant reception-like vibe. The message? Cohesion - thoughtfully planned rooms that maintain visual flow and prioritize rich social gatherings.

Find the heart of home in an optimal South-facing position: you will not find a better family room and kitchen pairing than this. Doesn't everyone always end up gathered around the granite-topped peninsula, munching on canapes while dinner gets whipped up effortlessly? Or perhaps the space serves supervised post-school homework and snack time best? Here, both scenarios happen with style and comfort in spades. A Dacor induction cooktop, Fisher & Paykel fridge plus Bosch dishwasher are names that make any chef's heart sing. Details not to be missed: the living brass fixtures over a farmhouse sink, abundant storage via mint green shaker cabinetry, smart bench storage in the bright eat-in zone. Make your way through an enclosed porch with heated floors and a custom dog-wash station to the back yard.

Entertain and dine alfresco on the natural stone patio or cedar deck, and enjoy the

heated salt-water pool. A cedar fence ensures privacy, while the nearby garage means seasonal gear (and pool toys!) are always close at hand. It couldn't be more picture perfect.

Back inside, take the stairs to the second level, where bedrooms boast generous footprints and treetop views. In the primary, a sweeping layout yields flexible furniture placement, while two walk-in closets leave it clutter-free. A soaker tub and walk-in shower with penny round tiles offer daily indulgence, while an antique whiskey cabinet turned marble-topped vanity keeps daily ablutions chic.

The remaining two bedrooms on this level are served by an elegant main bath; a pedestal sink and walk-in shower handle morning and evening routines. Laundry on this level features plenty of counter and storage space.

The lower level's cork floors and bright windows are a fantastic jumping off point for indoor leisure and recreation. Find studio space for a home gym, and space for weekend lounging during winter months. Built-in shelves keep it cozy, while cold room and cedar-closet storage keep all extracurricular paraphernalia managed.

The Glebe's best offerings lie at your doorstep - sporting events and festivals at Lansdowne, skating, biking, and running along the canal, endless bike paths and green space. Excellent schools and proximity to Ottawa's cultural and business center yield an exceptional vantage for everyone. An unparalleled home that combines stunning and meticulous design with practical, family-friendly spaces? You won't find anything else like it. Don't wait - this is a special one.
