and a large centre island. At the rear of the home, the family room has a character all its own, with two skylights, a gas fireplace and a dramatic stone feature wall giving the space a distinctive mid-century feel. Large windows overlook the gardens, while direct access from both the kitchen and family room makes the backyard an easy extension of the living space. Four bedrooms are located together upstairs, including a generous primary suite with a renovated ensuite. A beautifully updated main bathroom and second-floor laundry make this level particularly well suited to busy family life. The playful retro powder room adds an unexpected touch of vintage charm. Downstairs, a bedroom or office and full bathroom create excellent options for guests, teenagers or working from home. There is also plenty of additional room for a gym, recreation area and storage, along with the convenience of direct double car garage access to walk in basement. Outside, mature landscaping creates a private backdrop for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. The distinctive front staircase and balcony give the home great curb appeal and a style that stands apart from the typical family home. Then there’s the location. Excellent schools, including Broadview, Woodroffe Avenue, Fisher Park and Nepean High School, are within the catchment. Carlingwood Shopping Centre, neighbourhood parks and the Ottawa River pathways are all close by. Easy access to the 417. Spacious, distinctive and exceptionally well located, 1958 Neepawa Avenue is a home with room to grow. (id:62650)
