A rare opportunity to own a private country home in the city. This impeccably updated mid-century classic in highly sought-after and historic Fairhaven, is perched on a breathtaking half-acre wooded estate lot offering unmatched privacy in a serene, nature-immersed setting. Tucked away on a safe, quiet street, surrounded by towering trees, you're a short walk to the Montfort Hospital, CMHC, NCC pathways and only minutes by car to downtown. This residence has been transformed top-to-bottom with designs and finishes that blend modern comfort with timeless architectural character. Every space has been tastefully curated to ensure warmth, functionality and sophistication. The exquisite chef's kitchen with large quartz island and pantry opens to the spacious, bright dining area and living room with it's original 1950's stone hearth, a cozy/practical wood stove and patio access. To the right of the impressive entrance-way is the main floor bedroom (now serving as a gym). With an adjacent bathroom and family room, it's the perfect nanny or in-law suite. At the top of the stylish staircase, there's a bright landing, perfect as an office space. The second floor East wing has two spacious bedrooms, one with deep double closets, the other with a full walk-in. The family bath contains a convenient 2nd floor laundry. At the West end of the hallway is the expansive primary bedroom with 5-piece en-suite bath and spacious walk-in closet. Designer finishes on both levels include pot lights, quality fixtures, high-end appliances, fine ceramic tiles and rich maple hardwood throughout. Spend countless evenings outdoors on the stone patio with a fire pit. The large 2-car garage has a 2nd floor with tons of storage space and the triple-wide interlock driveway provides plenty of parking for all your cars and toys. Homes of this calibre, combining estate-style tranquil enclave living, architectural excellence and exceptional proximity to urban amenities, are seldom available in Ottawa.
