Imagine quiet evenings beneath mature trees, morning walks along one of Alta Vista's most peaceful crescents and the rare feeling of being tucked away without leaving the city. Set on an impressive 87.6 x 110 ft. lot, this substantial 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers more than 3,000 sq. ft. above grade, a large double garage and the kind of space that is increasingly difficult to find. Rhodes Crescent is one of a select few secluded crescents in this prestigious pocket, known for exceptional privacy, minimal traffic and its calm, established atmosphere. Across the street, Pleasant Park Woods rises behind the neighbouring homes, creating a lush natural backdrop, while nearby woodland trails connect with Grasshopper Hill Park and the Poets' Pathway. Inside, the scale makes an immediate impression. Expansive principal rooms and three fireplaces create inviting spaces for family life and entertaining. The main level includes generous living and dining rooms, an open concept eat-in kitchen, family room and dedicated office; upstairs, four spacious bedrooms provide room for everyone. The finished basement area adds a separate walk-up and sauna, with exciting flexibility for recreation, guests or future multigenerational living. Outside, the private backyard offers space to relax and entertain, complete with an in-ground pool. The location adds another layer of distinction, with Pleasant Park Public School offering bilingual kindergarten and Early French Immersion, plus additional public, Catholic and French-language options nearby. CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital General Campus are only minutes away, with parks, shopping, transit and downtown easily accessible. Parking for six completes the package. The scale, lot and setting are almost impossible to recreate. Update the home to your taste and make this exceptional address entirely your own. *Some photos are virtually staged.
