Welcome to 80 Sandcastle Drive #1213, a fully renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom apartment with elevated views across mature treetops toward the Ottawa River, offering spectacular sunsets. Located in Leslie Park, this upper-floor residence combines a functional layout, generous storage, and low-maintenance living close to all the best west-end amenities. A welcoming tiled foyer opens to the dining area and expansive living room, where wide, multi-panel windows allow for plenty of natural light. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and a wide pass-through that keeps it connected to the principal living areas. The enclosed sunroom provides a peaceful space for a home office, reading area, or creative space while taking full advantage of the views. The generously sized primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and proximity to a 4-piece bathroom, while the second bedroom offers outstanding versatility with built-in cabinetry and direct access to the sunroom. A refreshed full bathroom with a tub-and-shower combination, a separate powder room, and an additional storage room complete the layout. Residents of the Sophia enjoy access to an exercise centre, guest suite, outdoor pool, party room, and sauna. Queensway Carleton Hospital is within walking distance, and Bayshore Shopping Centre, College Square, Bells Corners, and Algonquin College are also nearby. Those who enjoy spending time outdoors will appreciate nearby Bruce Pit and the Stony Swamp trail network, which offer excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and dog walking!
