Manotick Long Island Waterfront

This fantastic waterfront property is situated on a rare, treed 38,718-square-foot lot and feels like being in Maine! Set far back from the road down a private drive, the home has been grandfathered into an extraordinary position on the water’s edge. As a result, it enjoys breathtaking views from a superb wraparound porch and the principal rooms!

The home has been updated amazingly renovated and is perfect for yearround or seasonal living. It is best known as the onetime residence of Harvey Sadd, an artist whom the Canadian Government hired to paint Rideau Canal and locks scenes.

The home enjoys a happy, inviting feel and feels like a true vacation property! The main floor enjoys wood floors and fabulous water views. The open concept living and dining rooms have cove ceilings and gorgeous water views. The living room and breakfast room share a double-sided wood fireplace.

There is a fantastic sunroom/family room that is cosseted in wood and overlooks the water, providing access to the back deck and yard. The country kitchen has stainless steel appliances and soaring ceilings with a skylight that fills the space with light.
