Welcome to 1853 Kilborn Avenue, a classic Campeau-built home in the heart of Playfair Park, one of Alta Vista's most established and sought-after neighbourhoods. Surrounded by mature trees and generous green space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a thoughtful layout, beautiful natural light and the space to grow into for years to come. Hardwood flooring carries through the principal living areas, including a spacious living room with natural gas fireplace and a separate dining room ideal for family dinners and entertaining. At the heart of the home is the beautifully updated eat-in kitchen, remodelled in 2023 to create a fresh and functional space with direct access to the backyard deck. Thoughtful updates continue throughout the home, including a refreshed entryway and powder room (2023), updated electrical panel (2022), and basement (2024). Outside, the private fenced yard is framed by mature landscaping and provides plenty of room to entertain, garden, play or simply enjoy the outdoors. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office, while the second-floor balcony offers a unique spot overlooking the surrounding treetops. The lower level adds valuable additional living space with flexibility for a recreation room, gym, playroom or workspace. Ideally located minutes from CHEO and The Ottawa Hospital General Campus, with parks, schools, community amenities and Rideau River walking and cycling paths nearby. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy the space, character and mature surroundings that make Alta Vista such a desirable place to call home. Some photos digitally edited.
