A showpiece three-car garage, one truly unforgettable Metcalfe bungalow! Escape the pace of the city without giving up convenience. Set on a beautifully landscaped half-acre corner lot in the welcoming community of Metcalfe, 8399 Rowan Drive offers peaceful country living within an easy commute of Ottawa. The home has undergone extensive updates in recent years, including new flooring, dual furnaces and air-conditioning units, a renovated lower-level guest suite and bathroom, new patios and lighting, significant garage improvements, and more. Inside, the bright, open-concept main level is designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Generous principal rooms are complemented by three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, main-floor laundry, and a versatile bonus room with its own private deck - ideal as a home office, fitness studio, family lounge, or creative space. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a guest suite, updated bathroom, and spacious recreation area. Outdoors, mature trees create a private and inviting retreat. A spacious rear deck, multiple patios, gazebo, and enclosed hot tub provide the perfect setting for summer barbecues, morning coffee, and relaxing at the end of the day. The standout feature is the exceptional heated three-car garage, a dream space for automotive enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, collectors, and serious hobbyists. Premium epoxy flooring, custom high-lift garage doors, a mechanic's pit, and a vehicle lift create a workshop that is every bit as impressive as the home itself.
