Hidden Along the Park and River

“Live the urban lifestyle while feeling surrounded by nature.”

Tucked quietly beside historic MacDonald Gardens Park and the Rideau River pathways, this beautifully designed  executive townhome offers a rare lifestyle in the heart of Ottawa — where urban convenience meets the feeling of living surrounded by nature.

Here, morning walks along the river, cycling paths, mature trees, and expansive green space become part of everyday life, all while remaining moments from the ByWard Market, Beechwood Village, downtown offices, cafés, restaurants, and the city’s cultural core.

Positioned within an intimate enclave of brick townhomes, this residence offers approximately 1,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across multiple levels. The setting feels remarkably private and peaceful — more reminiscent of a hidden park-side retreat than a downtown address.

The home unfolds with an inviting sense of warmth and flexibility. A spacious ground-floor family room creates an ideal space for casual living, guests, a home office, or media retreat, complemented by a full bathroom and interior access to the attached garage.

Ascending to the primary living level, light-filled open-concept spaces create an effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining. The generous living and dining areas connect seamlessly to the kitchen and breakfast area, while oversized windows frame tranquil views of the parkland beyond.

In warmer months, glass doors open to the private balcony — the perfect setting for morning coffee among the trees or evening wine overlooking the greenery below.

The upper level offers two spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary retreat with abundant closet space and convenient access to the large main bathroom. An additional lower-level flex room with walk-in closet offers excellent versatility as a guest room, gym, office, or studio space.

Rarely does a home combine this level of tranquility, green space, and urban accessibility so seamlessly.

A hidden lifestyle address in the heart of the city.
