and a functional layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large island and farmhouse double sink, with easy access to the expansive rear deck. An inviting family room with wood-burning fireplace provides a warm gathering space, while a second living area, currently used as a quiet reading room, offers flexibility as a private home office. Created as part of the home’s addition, the impressive primary suite is exceptionally spacious and bright, featuring a beautifully renovated ensuite and private upper balcony overlooking the backyard. Three additional bedrooms are also generously proportioned. The finished lower level adds excellent versatility with a large laundry room, pantry, full-size workout studio and additional recreation space. Outside, the remarkably private backyard is surrounded by a towering mature hedge, creating a secluded setting rarely found this close to downtown. An oversized entertaining deck, established gardens, mature trees and a 1-car garage complete the property. Minutes from the new Ottawa Hospital campus, Mooney’s Bay, Hog’s Back, Carleton University, Dow’s Lake, parks and pathways, this distinctive Courtland Park home offers exceptional space to live, work, entertain and unwind-inside and out.
