New York Chic in Westboro

This architecturally breathtaking Westboro home is a triumph of contemporary design. No detail has been overlooked even the driveway and walkway are heated. The house electronics, fireplaces and state-of-the-art security system may be controlled by your iPhone, from anywhere in the world.

The foyer opens into a gorgeous, open concept main level that is both bright and spacious. In a dramatic use of space, the inviting living and formal dining rooms are separated by a two-sided gas fireplace. The award-winning kitchen,designed by Design First, is spectacular and both functional and sleek. There are top end Miele appliances including a full sized fridge and full sized freezer, a built-in cappuccino machine, a convection microwave and two Miele convection ovens. The kitchen has a built in seating area along with counter seating, and a built-in desk. The kitchen door "wall" completely opens when entertaining. This is one of Ottawa's best designed kitchens and is adjacent to a wonderful family room with additional built ins.

A dramatic floating staircase leads to the next level, which houses three bedrooms. The master suite is a pursuit in forward-thinking, modern design, with an ultramodern gas fireplace and open concept bathroom with private toilet. The basement houses another bedroom and full bathroom, as well as choice amenities including a sophisticated, glass-walled fitness room, a screening room and a spectacular glassed-in wine cellar.

Outdoor spaces are superbly designed on this property. Conveniently, the two outdoor spaces are both stylish and low maintenance. The dramatic rooftop terrace offers a covered seating area and hot tub, from where you can watch the outdoor TV, while floating among the privacy of treetops. Just inside the home is a small kitchen area, perfect for storing cold drinks and aiding in alfresco entertaining. The main level of the home also boasts access to outdoor space. The lower patio and deck with built-in fire pit are conveniently situated off the kitchen. Winter is just as well considered in this home, as the double car garage has a heated floor. The quality throughout this home is evident from the moment you enter the front door. There are rifted oak hardwood floors throughout and breathtaking superior finishings. This home proves that form doesn’t follow function – they’re equal.
