Four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, double garage, finished basement, and a private yard, and within a convenient 15 minute neighbourhood. You've got shopping galore (Place d'Orleans or the Fallingbrook Shopping Centre, both only 5 mins away), the Orleans Farmers Market from May through October with 35+ local vendors, right beside Ray Friel Recreation complex and the Cumberland branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Minutes from Queenswood Ridge Park, which has a baseball diamond, walking track, picnic shelter, splash pad, and playground. Centrally located for schools from multiple schools, regardless of the school board you desire. Convenient transit with bus routes near by and the LRT extending to Orleans very soon. If you're driving, you're close to the 174 and only a 20 minute drive to downtown. Great neighbourhood, and great house. Situated on a large 60 by 100 foot lot you will enjoy the privacy of a fully hedged and fenced yard, and the bonus of two storage sheds, fenced garden beds, and a deck, perfect for entertaining. Head inside, you have gleaming maple hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. A separate living room, dining room, family room, and a kitchen with space for another eating area, 1466 Prestone has all the space you need. Also on the main level are a 2pc bathroom and a large mudroom entry from the double car garage (which used to be the laundry room and could be converted back to one). Upstairs, you'll find the large Primary bedroom suite with an ensuite 4pc bathroom and walk-in closet, plus three other good sized bedrooms and another full 4pc bathroom. Downstairs, you've got a huge recreation room, a den, and plenty of storage throughout the furnace / laundry room.
