This stately 8-bedroom, 2.5-storey residence in the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa, is set on a prominent corner lot across from the walking paths of Pine Hill. Rockcliffe Park is one of Ottawa's most prestigious neighbourhoods, home to many ambassadors' residences as well as private family homes. With over 5,500 sq. ft. of above-grade living space, this home has long served as a diplomatic residence and now offers a rare opportunity to refine and restore one of Ottawa's most established addresses. The main floor is built for formal entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen features granite countertops, quality appliances, multiple built-in ovens, 2 dishwashers and a Wolf gas range. The living and dining rooms showcase herringbone parquet flooring and crown moulding. A bright four-season sunroom with skylights and exposed beams opens to a screened-in deck and landscaped yard. You'll also find a main-floor office, 3 wood-burning fireplaces and 2 staircases, including a central staircase. The upper levels offer 8 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, including a primary suite with a dressing room and fireplace. A private 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom suite on the second floor, with separate access from the second staircase, provides flexible space as an in-law suite, for guests, extended family or household staff. The finished basement includes a family room and sauna. Additional features include a semi-circular driveway, double garage, irrigation system, 2 furnaces and 2 air conditioning units. This property is situated close to Sussex Drive and the Rockcliffe Parkway, with quick access to downtown Ottawa, Parliament Hill, Rideau Hall, Global Affairs Canada, the National Research Council, Beechwood Village and much more.
