The allure of New Edinburgh lies in its perfect balance of tranquility and vibrancy, making it one of Ottawa's most desirable neighborhoods. On any given day, you'll find residents enjoying the scenic paths of New Edinburgh Park by the Ottawa River or exploring the eclectic array of restaurants and quirky shops that line Beechwood Avenue.

All who live here are content in the knowledge that not only can they find every amenity and shop in their neighbourhood, but their children are able to attend some of the best schools in town nearby, too. Adding to its prestige, New Edinburgh is home to iconic landmarks such as the Governor General's residence and the Prime Minister's home, further enhancing its appeal as a tranquil retreat just minutes from downtown Ottawa.

On Crichton Street, among charming and historic neighbors, a stately home with fabulous curb appeal draws you in—a well-shaped mulberry tree frames the classic red brick façade and curved entryway that beckons within. Stepping through the luminous entryway, you're welcomed into a space of function and elegance. Past a modern powder room with exquisite touches—a mirror, a basin sink—a short descent leads to a stunning family room, the jewel of the main level. With high ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and ample storage, this room offers a retreat for quiet moments, playful afternoons with grandchildren, or simply a space to unwind. Venture onto the spacious backyard, where stone pathways wind through perennial gardens, creating a private oasis bathed in morning sunlight—perfect for sipping coffee while surrounded by lush blooms. Ascending to the second floor, you're met with an expansive living and dining area, gracefully divided by a stately pillar. Reddish-gold oak floors guide you into a reminiscent reverie of lavish dinners and elegant cocktail parties: glasses clinking to call in the New Year against the backdrop of stunning architectural details and snowy treetops beyond, with a roaring fire in the hearth. Large windows frame views of Crichton Street, with Hunter Douglas blinds allowing effortless control of light and airflow. A thoughtfully designed powder room seamlessly blends into the home's elegant aesthetic. The kitchen on this level is nothing short of spectacular, offering a serene treetop view that enhances the sense of peace and tranquility. High-end appliances, an induction stove, a large fridge, and quartz countertops make cooking a pleasure, while endless smart storage solutions like pull-out spice racks ensure everything has its place. The adjacent Butler's pantry extends your culinary workspace, combining style and function. A door opens onto the verandah, where you can enjoy fresh air and the beauty of the seasons, thanks to a convenient gas hookup for year-round BBQs.

The ascent continues to the third floor, where the immense primary bedroom awaits, offering the feeling of a private loft. With its curved windows, two massive closets, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom, this space is designed for ultimate relaxation. Soak away your cares in the deep tub, illuminated by a tall skylight that bathes the room in natural light. Bespoke, lab-tested two-sided smart tech blinds by Ottawa designer Krumper ensure comfort throughout the year, blocking heat in the summer and allowing warmth in the winter. A second bedroom on this floor provides a luxurious guest suite, complete with a beautifully designed Jack and Jill bathroom and massive closets. Sparkling windows allow natural light to flood the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Finally, float up to the fourth floor, where a stunning loft is revealed. Whether you envision this space as a home office, gym, or additional guest area, this airy area is the perfect canvas for your dreams. The loft's skylight, can be opened to let in fresh air, making this secret retreat one of the home's most enchanting features. Indeed, this stately home is a true sanctuary of timeless appeal. Whether entertaining guests or seeking a peaceful retreat, this home invites you to live, dream, and create memories in a space that is truly exceptional.
