Old Village Designer Perfect

This designer-perfect home has tremendous curb-appeal, gorgeous landscaping and beautiful architectural features. Situated in the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park within walking distance of Ashbury College, Elmwood School and the Community Centre, this custom four-plus-bedroom family home was built by John Henry of Terra Nova Construction.

The granite kitchen combines form and function. It has great design details including a walk-in pantry, a large granite island with seating for three, lovely light cabinetry that contrasts with the dark wood floor, and a built-in granite-top desk. The breakfast room is bright and has fantastic garden views. The adjacent family room is generously sized, has a fireplace, and overlooks the back gardens. A striking contemporary staircase and balusters connects the levels of this home. A large, well-organized, laundry is located steps up from the main level and equidistant from the kitchen and bedroom levels for convenience.

The master bedroom is spacious and offers beautiful garden views. It features her and his walk-in closets and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with two sinks, a soaking tub and a glass shower. There are three additional bedrooms on the upper levels, two that share an ensuite bathroom and one that has its own ensuite.
