101 IVY CRESCENT, Ottawa, Ontario

Set on one of the neighbourhood's most prestigious, family friendly streets, this beautiful designer inspired brick clad home is the real deal. Beautifully expanded and remodelled, it is deceptively spacious, offering over 2,800 square feet across three finished levels with four bedrooms and four washrooms. Pride of ownership shows in every finish, from the fixtures and flooring to the little details you don't expect. The main floor is made for everyday living and entertaining, with rich hardwood and custom tile, a powder room, and formal living and dining rooms anchored by a wood burning fireplace with a rare antique mantel. The huge kitchen flows straight into a sun filled great room where everyone naturally gathers. Upstairs, a bright loft joins three generous bedrooms and two full washrooms. The finished lower level adds a fourth bedroom, a full washroom, a large laundry area, climate controlled wine storage, storage and utility rooms, and an oversized family room with radiant heat for movie nights and game days. Fresh paint, crown mouldings, and updated appliances and fixtures mean you can simply unpack, and with newer HVAC and vinyl windows the big ticket items are already done. Outside, the rear yard is very private, with a gorgeous low maintenance stone patio, auto irrigation, and a hot tub connection for soaking away the workday. A private laneway leads to a newer ICF detached brick garage with a huge second floor loft that solves every storage woe. The location is hard to beat, a funky, hip pocket of the city minutes from the core, close to Stanley Park and the Rideau River pathways, and walkable to the pond for a swim, shops, restaurants and green space. Ashbury, Elmwood, Rockcliffe Park Public School, MCA, St Laurent Academy, St Brigid's and De La Salle are an easy stroll, and the home sits in the Lisgar Collegiate zone.
