Exceptional location on the Rideau Canal, this townhouse was designed to capture and use the vistas to full advantage. The house is oversized with an abundance of living space accented by high ceilings and hardwood floors. A dramatic curved staircase acts as a back drop to all three floors with its circular skylit walls and large landings. Designed to provide privacy yet bring the outside in. As you enter you are stuck by the open concept entertaining spaces and the natural flow between the rooms. The main floor family room and eat-in kitchen are ideal for the family. Formal dining room with gas fireplace. The second floor has a huge master suite with balcony, all overlooking the Canal and parkland, there is another large bedroom, two full bathrooms, laundry and huge walk-in linen closet as well on this floor. The treetop third floor provides two huge bedrooms (both with balconies - one with striking Canal views), another full (skylight) bathroom and large landing that could be a kids' play or computer space. There is also a finished basement room that could be a guest room (powder room very handy nearby) or media/sound room. There is a private accessed apartment at the rear that is an ideal rental unit or as a consultant/at home office for the professional. Lots of space for family and friends. Garage.
