Waterfront Masterpiece Beyond Compare

With 226.57 feet of breathtaking Rideau River shoreline, this architectural tour de force by acclaimed designer André Godin is a property that transcends the ordinary. Conceived to defy conventional standards of luxury in Ottawa, it re-imagines waterfront living through a symphony of artistry, scale, and craftsmanship.

From the moment the custom black double doors open onto the black-and-white marble-inlaid foyer, sophisticated design reigns. Gleaming floors, intricate mouldings, and 12-foot ceilings speak to a level of detail rarely seen. To the right, a sumptuous study wrapped in textured red leather walls and finished with elegant millwork offers warmth and sophistication - this space and its adjacent library room offer the ideal location for reading, work, or private meetings. To the left, grand entertaining spaces unfold in a crescendo of design: soaring pillars with Art Deco flair, walls of glass framing mesmerizing views of greenery and the river beyond, and a living room with a bay window inset with a stunning fireplace.

The elegant kitchen is an exquisite balance of light and dark, anchored by a Bertazzoni six-burner range, pot filler, and professional hood fan. Discreet butler’s and walk-in pantries enhance the sense of seamless luxury. The gorgeous sunken family room offers high coffered ceilings, a feature fireplace and dramatic views. French doors lead to the terrace with its covered area perfect for outdoor dining.

The main floor offers three-bedroom suites - each with its own luxurious ensuite bathroom. The primary suite is an ethereal retreat with hardwood floors, a private terrace to the water, and an ensuite bathroom that rivals a world-class spa - complete with an oversized round soaking tub overlooking the river, dual vanities, and a water closet. The primary also offers a private dressing room as well as a large, custom closet with fabulous lighting, a vanity area and beautiful built-ins. There are also two phenomenal powder rooms on the main floor - one for everyday use and the other for guests.

The walk-out lower level offers a private apartment with its own exterior access, a spacious bedroom, laundry, a full kitchen and a bathroom. This is the ultimate in-law or guest suite. There is also a superb wellness retreat with a dry sauna, full bathroom and access to the backyard so that it is easily accessible from the pool terrace. There is also a recreation room with workshop attached in the lower level, as well as access to the heated triple garage. In addition to offering inside access, the garage also has a door that leads to the backyard.

Outside, the tree-lined backyard evokes a private resort: saltwater pool, covered alfresco terrace, bocce court, concrete boat dock and multiple walkouts that invite you to the water’s edge. The indoor-outdoor living provided by this home enhances the home’s livability and the feeling of resort-like living. Every corner of this home exudes refinement and intentional beauty; this bungalow is so extraordinary that it sets a new benchmark for Canadian waterfront living.
