This architect-designed custom infill residence was created to reflect the character of Sandy Hill's historic streetscape while offering the comfort and efficiency of modern construction. Enjoy a superb location steps to Strathcona Park, the Rideau River, Embassy Row, & pedestrian bridge to the Rideau Sports Centre and additional green space. An interlock stone driveway, raised stone retaining walls, and a wrap-around covered porch create a welcoming first impression. Inside, maple hardwood flooring extends throughout the main & 2nd levels, complemented by classic wide-profile window casings, tall baseboards, and architectural details seldom found in newer homes. Open-concept main level features high ceilings with tray ceiling details, recessed lighting, a freestanding gas fireplace, and a well-designed kitchen w/granite countertops, cherrywood cabinetry, stainless appliances incl. an induction range, and a peninsula with added workspace and storage. A custom staircase with integrated display shelving serves as a distinctive focal point, while the main-flr laundry w/2-pce bath and side entrance complete the level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers 2 double closets. The spacious sunfilled 2nd bedroom is currently used as a family room/office. Originally designed with three 2nd-floor bedrooms, the front two rooms were combined to create one expansive space that could easily be reconfigured. Custom built-in bookshelves line the gallery hallway, while the 4-pce bath features heated floors, jetted soaker tub, & separate shower. The basement level offers exceptional flexibility with a separate exterior entrance. Currently configured with a bedroom w/heated tile flooring, office/den, and bright workshop with exterior access. Rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom and 240V wiring for a potential kitchen provide excellent potential for an in-law suite, SDU, or studio. Serene private fenced yard with patio area, multiple seating spaces, and a custom 4'x16' shed.
