siding – no vinyl at all. Inside: 9′ smooth ceilings on the main level and red oak hardwood across both upper levels, joined by a well-designed hardwood staircase. The open-concept main floor has no visible load-bearing elements – no posts, no columns – and the full width of the home is used, running open from one interior wall to the other, so every space feels generous. The kitchen is a standout upgrade: both the island and the cabinetry have been extended by over a foot beyond the standard Elmhurst plan, with full-height cabinetry, under-cabinet valance lighting, a refined colour scheme and high-end appliances including a fridge with water and ice dispenser. Upstairs, the hall is filled with natural light from large modern windows at the front and rear. All three bedrooms are well-sized. The primary enjoys an elevated view thanks to the home’s higher elevation, plus a 4-piece ensuite with both a shower and a tub; the two front-facing bedrooms overlook the park. Laundry is conveniently located on the bedroom level. The basement is fully finished with a large egress lookout window, entirely above grade with no window well. About 25% of Wateridge is green space – parks, pathways and the Ottawa River Pathway, with the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parklands and 10 km of NCC riverside trails at the community’s edge. Hôpital Montfort next door; Farm Boy and Metro minutes away; St. Laurent Centre and Gloucester Centre a short drive; Ashbury College and Elmwood School in Rockcliffe Park. Blair Station and Hwy 417 close by. Downtown in about 10 minutes. (id:62650)
