Overlooking Dow’s Lake

Properties such as 2 Lakeview Terrace are rarely offered and almost impossible to replicate. Occupying more than 25,709 (+/-) square feet across two lots, this gated estate commands one of Ottawa’s most extraordinary settings, overlooking Dow’s Lake, the Arboretum, and acres of surrounding parkland. Hidden behind private gates and mature trees, the property unfolds as a world unto itself.

A winding private drive leads to a circular motor court, creating a sense of arrival reserved for distinguished estates. Beyond, expansive gardens, sweeping lawns, a swimming pool, and a triple-car garage are seamlessly integrated into grounds that have been meticulously cultivated over generations.

Perched on one of the highest vantage points overlooking Dow’s Lake, the residence enjoys panoramic southern and western views, capturing sunlight throughout the day and spectacular sunsets over the water.

Originally constructed in 1938 and thoughtfully renovated, the home retains the grace and craftsmanship of its era while embracing the beauty of its surroundings. Principal rooms were designed to capture the views, while original architectural details remain as a testament to the home’s enduring character.

Just moments from the Rideau Canal, the Glebe, Little Italy, and downtown Ottawa, this remarkable estate offers a level of privacy, scale, and presence seldom found in the nation’s capital.

More than a home, 2 Lakeview Terrace is a landmark property. An irreplaceable estate. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire one of Ottawa’s most significant private residences.
