Beautifully Renovated Home in Prime Central Locale
Set in the highly coveted Dow’s Lake neighbourhood, this exceptional renovated home enjoys a charming and idyllic setting. A prime central location surrounded by natural beauty with parkland, the tulip gardens, and Dow’s Lake just steps away. Take in breathtaking views, tranquil waterfront strolls, and ever-changing seasonal landscapes. Trendy dining spots, cafes and unique shops of Little Italy and the Glebe are all within walking distance, along with excellent schools, Carleton University, and the future site of the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus.
Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street, the alluring curb appeal of 12 Kippewa Drive will immediately capture your attention. The meticulously maintained grounds showcase delightful perennial beds and a stone walkway and steps that extend a warm welcome to your guests. The landscaping continues into the private backyard oasis leaving a lasting impression with its lush greenery, well-kept gardens, and spacious stone patio. The in-ground irrigation system ensures that the outdoor spaces remain vibrant and thriving.
Inside, this home has been thoughtfully renovated to meet modern needs while still preserving elements of its elegant past. The center hall design features warm hardwood floors, coved ceilings, classic archways, and charming leaded windows, all contributing to the overall ambiance.
Just off the foyer, a spacious living room awaits, featuring large windows on both the north and south sides. It’s a welcoming area perfect for family gatherings or hosting friends, with a beautiful fireplace as its focal point. Across the hall is the dining room complete with its original built-in corner cabinet, an intimate setting for both formal or casual dining. The adjacent remodelled kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops, a stunning marble backsplash that extends up to the ceiling, a centre island with seating, ample storage including a pantry, high-end stainless steel appliances and soothing pot lights. Continue to the sun-drenched family room enclosed in glass, seamlessly connecting the indoor space with the backyard retreat and greenery beyond.
Hardwood floors continue up the staircase and extend into the second level, where a stained glass window lights up the landing. Here you’ll discover three bedrooms, including the primary suite redesigned to incorporate a dressing room complete with a custom closet system. The primary also offers convenient access to the beautifully renovated bathroom, boasting a soaker tub, a separate spacious walk-in shower with seating bench, high quality Grohe fixtures, and heated tile floor.
The basement is partially finished and includes a recreation room, a 3 piece bath, as well as the laundry and storage/utility area.
