Designed by respected architect James Colizza, this custom-built residence blends the character of Sandy Hill's historic streetscape with the comfort and efficiency of modern construction. Ideally located steps to Strathcona Park, the Rideau River, Embassy Row, and the pedestrian bridge to the Rideau Sports Centre and additional green space, this home offers an unmatched urban lifestyle. An interlock stone driveway, raised stone retaining walls, and a wrap-around covered porch create an inviting first impression. Inside, maple hardwood flooring extends throughout the main and second levels, complemented by wide-profile window casings, tall baseboards, and timeless details rarely found in newer homes. The open-concept main floor features high ceilings with tray details, recessed lighting, and a freestanding gas fireplace. The kitchen offers granite countertops, cherrywood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including an induction range, and a peninsula with additional workspace and storage. A custom staircase with integrated display shelving serves as a focal point, while the side entrance, main-floor laundry, and powder room add convenience. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features two double closets. The spacious second bedroom is currently used as a family room/home office and was originally designed as two bedrooms, offering the flexibility to reconfigure the space into rooms of approximately 14' x 10' and 9' x 9'. To VIEW THE ORIGINAL 3 BEDROOM LAYOUT, please refer to the last two photos. Built-in bookshelves line the gallery hallway, and the 4-piece bathroom includes heated floors, a jetted soaker tub, and separate shower. The lower level offers a separate exterior entrance and is currently configured with a bedroom, office/den, and bright workshop with exterior access. Rough-in plumbing and the flexible layout provide excellent potential for an in-law suite, studio, or home office. Outside, the fenced yard features a patio, seating, and a custom 4' x 16' shed.
