Private Backyard in the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park

This backyard is one of the most private in Rockcliffe Park! Surrounded by mature trees and fantastic high hedges on three sides, the light-filled backyard is resort-like, offering a beautiful pool and treed views from every room! Set in the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park on Manor Avenue, this home was designed by Younghusband, a prominent Ottawa architect of the mid-20th century, and has had just two owners. The current owners undertook an extensive renovation and this home is turnkey.

The 10,418 SF lot offers remarkable privacy, lush landscaping and leafy views from windows throughout the home. Southern light brightens the garden and western light brightens the interiors.

A classic centre hall plan introduces beautiful rooms with elegant picture mouldings extending throughout the main and second floors. The bright living room features a fireplace and views of the streetscape. The dining room opens to the kitchen, where granite counters and a waterfall island accommodate counter seating. There are stainless steel appliances and beautiful backyard views of the pool and hydrangea trees beyond. There is also direct garden access.

The main-floor family room also features a fireplace and overlooks the gorgeous backyard. A laundry room, and mudroom with garage access are conveniently located off the kitchen. These spaces offer an easy flow for family life and entertaining.

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms include two large, privately positioned suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom and the flexibility to serve as the primary suite. There are two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom, as well as a beautiful open study.

Extensive improvements, including a roof replacement in 2024, make this a turnkey offering. With enduring architectural character, generous family accommodation and a truly beautiful lot, this home combines the elegance of an established Old Village residence with the comfort and functionality of a carefully updated home. Its privacy, light and garden views bring lasting appeal to this special Manor Avenue setting.
