Situated in the heart of the Glebe in a coveted location, this distinguished residence has a commanding presence. A welcoming front porch leads into rooms rich in character, where leaded and stained glass windows, built-in bookshelves, French doors and natural wood trim speak to the craftsmanship of the original home. In the living room, a handsome fireplace anchors the space, while the generously proportioned dining room provides an elegant setting for both intimate dinners and larger occasions.
At the heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, with a Wolf gas range, which opens seamlessly to the eating area and family room, with views across the backyard. A substantial addition to the original house features a family room, powder room and mudroom on the main level, a fifth bedroom above, and additional well-lit recreation space with a full bathroom and wine cellar below.
An elevator provides direct access from the main floor to the fifth bedroom, complete with a three-piece ensuite and stacked laundry. The bedroom can also be reached from the main house, making this a remarkably flexible space, including for multi-generational living.
The private third floor is devoted to the primary retreat, with a spacious bedroom and skylit ensuite featuring a soaker tub and separate shower.
With 3,000 sq’ above grade, together with 680 sq’ of finished lower-level space, there is an impressive amount of room to live, work and play, without compromising the warmth and intimacy that define the house.
For many years, this has been a well lived in home known for its open door hospitality and for bringing neighbours and friends together. It has become part of the fabric of the Glebe, famously known as the “Halloween house,” attracting visitors from near and far.
The backyard oasis is a natural extension of the living space, with a fire pit, BBQ area and swim spa. Imagine unwinding in the swim spa or entertaining beneath the stars.
A private heated driveway leads to the 2014-built garage, notable for its unusually high ceilings, high enough that a golf simulator could even be considered.
Live just a stroll from highly respected community schools, the Glebe Community Centre, St. James Tennis Club, Bank Street shops and restaurants, Lansdowne Park, the Rideau Canal and Dow’s Lake.
A house with character, and a story to tell.
Pinch yourself. You are not dreaming.
