In the heart of Rockcliffe Park’s Old Village

This incredible home offers beautiful treed views, rare privacy and a spectacular backyard in the heart of Rockcliffe Park’s Old Village. Set on sought-after Minto Place, within walking distance of schools, the 14,454 SF corner lot is adjacent to David Thomas Lane in a picturesque, treed setting. The property enjoys wonderful privacy.

The present owners have extensively updated this mid-century home, creating warmth and beauty alongside the amenities families want today. Its layout offers fantastic entertaining spaces, privacy for family living and generous storage throughout. The home has a special history, having been built for Genevieve Bronson Laidlaw and Archibald Malloch Laidlaw.

The fenced backyard features a pool, hot tub, terrace, grass area, putting green, fire pit, and covered deck. Window walls from the breakfast room provide access to the pool terrace and a covered deck with an outdoor fan and barbecue hookup.

A beautiful tiled foyer with plenty of coat storage introduces the open-concept living and dining room, where a gas fireplace with river rocks creates a warm setting for entertaining. Across the back, the stunning custom kitchen, designed and crafted by local craftsman Nick Barna, opens to the breakfast room and family room, all overlooking the backyard and trees. Beautifully designed with extraordinary attention to detail, the kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, brilliant storage solutions, hidden electrical outlets and a long centre island with seating. Many of the drawers feature a secondary, shallow drawer nested inside a larger drawer. A professional hood fan and a separate walk-in pantry with abundant storage and an additional fridge make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. A double-sided linear gas fireplace connects the breakfast and family rooms. A powder room and large organized mudroom with access to the garage complete this level. The mudroom also has a side entrance that accesses the basketball area, and the garage offers heated floors.

Upstairs are a study with its own balcony and five bedrooms. The sensational primary suite offers high ceilings, transom windows looking out to the trees, access to a fabulous enclosed balcony and a private ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a soaking tub, dual vanity, large shower and radiant-heated floors. Four additional bedrooms share two full bathrooms, both also featuring radiant-heated floors. The sense of scale and storage are amazing for family living.

The basement includes a sixth bedroom, adjacent full bathroom, spacious family room, fitness room, office, large laundry room and abundant storage. Additional practical features include central vacuum, radiant-heated floors in all second-floor bathrooms, heated garage floor and an irrigation system.

With its location, privacy, space and incredible outdoor amenities, this is a rare offering in the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park and is one of the neighbourhood's true Dream Properties!
