The Glebe | Ottawa
Originally known as Berwick Cottage and constructed in 1895, this residence stands as a true gem within the Glebe. The rich redbrick exterior and architecturally interesting features, including a wide barn-style roof and a second floor designed in the wood fish scale motif.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, the house boasts a strategic placement, set back from the road to offer a spacious front garden.
Spanning two floors, the interior exudes a warm elegance, seamlessly blending modernity with the charm of historic architecture. A refined, minimalist decorative palette enhances the timeless appeal of the home.
An expansive sitting porch runs along the front of the house. Old world craftsmanship is displayed, from the richly paneled wood ceilings in the foyer to the high-trimmed door casings in the formal rooms. The oversized wood doors effortlessly fold back, revealing the dining room, all atop original pine floorboards that contribute to the home's allure.
The kitchen, previously renovated, provides ample space for culinary endeavors and there is lots of cupboard space. A side door entrance/foyer facilitates direct access to the rear of the house and the kitchen. The south facing family room opens to a deck through patio doors, offering versatility as a tranquil family room or a guest room with convenient access to a 3-piece revamped bathroom.
Ascend a turned flight of stairs within the original plan to discover three spacious bedrooms on the second floor, accompanied by a fully renovated bathroom. The primary bedroom, spacious enough for a king-sized bed, features a sitting area or dressing space with a full wall of closets. A peaceful retreat. The main bathroom (4pc) continues the rich, tasteful accents that harmonize with the home's overall ambiance.
You will appreciate the large side yard, ideal for cultivating an English garden /vegetable plot. Alternatively, the space can be transformed into a landscaped terrace with low-maintenance borders. A main floor deck wraps around the rear of the home. Creating an ideal setting for alfresco lunches and dinners and extending the internal living plan in the warmer months. Beyond the gated fence there is a private 2-car laneway.
