Description
Introducing Oak Lodge, one of Ottawa's most recognizable and admired residences. This stately English Tudor offers three bedrooms and two and a half baths, artfully balancing historic character with curated modern improvements. Tucked away on a private .66-acre setting, the home is framed by a circular drive, mature landscaping, and glowing gas lanterns that set an unforgettable first impression. An 11x20 screened-in porch provides a peaceful, fully private retreat overlooking a wooded ravine, where the gentle sound of a flowing creek creates a true sense of escape. Classic brick construction, a clay tile roof (circa 2017), copper gutters, and a graceful circular walkway speak to the home's architectural pedigree. Inside, the layout is both elegant and livable, featuring formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room, and a beautifully updated kitchen designed for everyday function and entertaining alike. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a peninsula with seating, wet bar, and stainless JENN-AIR appliances complete the space. Original details remain thoughtfully preserved throughout, including French doors, hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and a hand-painted dining room ceiling that adds one-of-a-kind character. The upper level offers three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all with hardwood floors and walk-in closets. Recent improvements include a renovated circular driveway (2019), Pella windows, updated electrical (2020), refinished hardwood floors, added functioning gas lanterns at the front and rear of the home, new HVAC in 2024, a full lawn irrigation system, and a natural gas grill hookup on the rear patio. A full unfinished basement provides ample storage and laundry space, offering flexibility for future use. With its rare combination of architectural distinction, thoughtful updates, and a setting that feels like a private nature preserve, Oak Lodge remains one of Ottawa's most sought-after homes-timeless, refined, and truly exceptional.
