Cross Streets: Queen Elizabeth Dr & McLeod St. ** Directions: From Hawthorne Ave turn right onto Queen Elizabeth Dr. Dreaming of a refined canal-side residence tailored to your lifestyle? This is a rare opportunity to customize the final finishes of a bespoke home by prominent Ottawa builder Mr. Allan Bateman, designed by award-winning architect Mr. Barry Hobin. Homes of this caliber and architectural integrity are seldom available. This exceptional design features a striking three-storey open riser staircase, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms, with expansive living and dining spaces anchored by a truly spectacular chef's kitchen. A private den, easily accessed from both the kitchen and hallway, offers a quiet retreat, while the integrated elevator provides seamless accessibility across all levels. The home's design embraces a minimalist aesthetic rooted in strength, simplicity, and functionality. Clean lines, open spaces, and a refined material palette-featuring stone, metal, and rich dark woods-create a timeless, modern presence. Wide plank oak flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and continuity, while a neutral palette of charcoal and deep browns is elevated by subtle metallic accents. Expansive windows and carefully considered lighting maximize natural light and highlight the architectural form. Thoughtfully designed for both luxury and function, the lower level is perfectly suited for a home theatre or entertainment space. Practical elements have been equally considered, with a spacious mudroom connected to the oversized 20' x 20' double-car garage, and a well-appointed laundry room discreetly located on the bedroom level. A rare offering where design, craftsmanship, and location converge. (id:27476)
