Some homes are built. Others are preserved, crafted, and passed through time. Welcome to the Wallace Farmhouse, circa 1832. Thoughtfully restored and professionally updated to today's standards, this landmark property seamlessly blends rich historic character with the refined comforts of modern living. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped 0.92-acre tree-lined lot with no rear neighbors, this property offers a sense of space and tranquility rarely found. From quiet mornings surrounded by nature to summer nights entertaining on the expansive stone patio -complete with a hot tub- every corner of this property feels like a private retreat. Inside, history lives in the details. Timeless character meets elevated design with original stone walls, hand-finished exposed wood beams, oversized trim, and deep-set, premium Marvin divided-lite windows that frame tranquil views. The home boasts cozy fireplaces that add warmth and atmosphere throughout the seasons. Crafted by renowned builder Jack Forsberg, the custom chef's kitchen is a masterpiece. It brilliantly blends historic craftsmanship with modern function, featuring lofted ceilings, bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances, and rich reclaimed barnwood flooring. Designed for gathering, the main floor offers a spacious family room anchored by a striking stone fireplace, a formal dining area, a private den, and a sun-filled eating space. Highly adaptable for modern family life, the main floor includes a private 2-bedroom, 3-piece bath suite with its own living area-the perfect layout for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or teen retreat. A striking staircase leads to an upper-level library retreat. This floor features a primary bedroom with a 3-piece ensuite, two additional well-sized bedrooms, and 4 piece bath- showcasing hand-milled, historic details throughout. This is more than a home; it is a legacy property. Own a magnificent piece of Ottawa's heritage - updated for today's lifestyle.
