Description
Nestled in the heart of Ottawa's historic Eastside neighborhood (less than a block from a wonderful park and a short walking distance to Ottawa's reputable downtown filled with restaurants, bars and shopping) stands this beautiful Tuscan style Italianate home, well acknowledged for its authentic, original Italianate features- such as the modillion brackets and dentils at the cornice and the detailed woodwork of the inviting front porch. Built in 1876 this home has been perfectly preserved, meticulously maintained and tastefully updated. Offering over 3,000 SQ FT of living space with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and spacious, flowing rooms filled with brightness shining through the expansive windows. Additional features include 10 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, elaborate mill work in baseboards and trim, decorative marble fireplace, French doors and much more. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated and offers a tiered center island with a breakfast bar, quartz counters, a spacious eating area with custom built-ins, and all stainless appliances. The primary suite bath features a fabulous walk-in shower and an enormous walk-in closet. The second floor hall bath is beautifully renovated and offers basket-weave marble floors, an all- glass walk-in shower and a free-standing soaking tub. Both renovated bathrooms have heated floors. The full basement offers a second family/rec room and ample storage. The garage was designed as a tandem garage for 2 cars. The exterior of the home was completely renovated in 2013 to include all new maintenance-free LP Smartboard with prefinished color and insulation, a new roof, all windows replaced with Anderson windows, and the original brackets and dentils at the cornice were removed, hand-painted and reattached. In 2018 the expansive patio was completed with Unilock pavers and professional landscaping. The home has zoned heating and cooling with two new central air units installed in 2021. In 2023 a 100 amp main breaker panel and a 100 amp sub-panel were installed to replace the existing fuses. The interior of the home had plaster repairs where needed and walls were freshly painted. See additional information for further maintenance details and historical information.
