For sale: Detached

Set on Bel-Air Drive, one of Braemar Park's most desirable streets, this thoughtfully expanded bungalow has been lovingly maintained by the same family since 1976. Its brick and stone facade makes a welcoming first impression, while hardwood floors, warm woodwork and built in cabinetry preserve its authentic 1960s character. The generous living room is centred on a wood burning fireplace and opens to the dining room, creating an inviting setting for quiet evenings, family meals and gatherings. The eat in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, space for casual meals and the opportunity to introduce your own style. Just off the kitchen, the bright family room addition overlooks the backyard and opens directly outside, giving everyday life room to spread out. Three generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom and a powder room complete the main level. Downstairs, the newly renovated recreation room offers a comfortable retreat for movie nights, games or hobbies. A versatile bonus room has served as a guest room and a second powder room add flexibility, while separate laundry, utility, workshop and storage areas serve the practical side of the home. The 80 by 100 ft lot includes a fully fenced backyard with room for children and pets to play, gardens to grow, summer gatherings and perhaps even a future pool. The oversized attached double garage extends approx 28 ft deep, providing space for two vehicles plus substantial storage or workspace at the rear. Charlotte Lemieux and Agincourt Road Public School are nearby, along with the Experimental Farm Pathway and several parks with playgrounds, outdoor rinks, tennis courts and more. Shopping, dining and everyday services along Merivale and Baseline are close at hand, while Hwy 417 provides easy access to central Ottawa and Kanata. With its original character intact, 1981 Bel-Air Drive gives its next owner the freedom to preserve the details they value, update what they choose and make a much loved home unmistakably their own.
