Cross Streets: Stanley Ave & Union St. ** Directions: From Sussex Dr, turn onto Stanley Ave. Rarely offered in the heart of New Edinburgh, 105 Stanley Avenue is a 3-storey architect-designed red-brick residence backing directly onto parkland along the Rideau River, offering exceptional privacy and unobstructed views stretching toward the Peace Tower. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home combines timeless architecture with a thoughtfully designed multi-level layout and over 3,400 sq.ft. of living space. The main level welcomes with a gracious vestibule and rich hardwood flooring, leading to a private den anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A rare main-floor guest suite provides excellent flexibility, complete with a renovated ensuite, custom storage, and direct access to a private terrace. The second level serves as the primary living space, designed to maximize light and views. A grand dining room with a striking cathedral-style stained glass feature flows into an expansive living room with custom millwork, a fireplace, and a full wall of windows overlooking the river and surrounding parkland. The kitchen features a functional, elegant layout with granite countertops, premium appliances, a central island, and an adjoining sitting area with access to an outdoor balcony. The top floor is dedicated to the primary retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom with panoramic water views, a private balcony, and a fully renovated spa-inspired ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub, steam shower, double vanity, and heated floors. The fully finished lower level adds a versatile living space with large windows, a recreation area, a full bathroom, and laundry-ideal for guests, a home gym, or potential in-law suite. Outdoor spaces include multiple terraces and balconies designed to capture the natural surroundings, while the double-car garage has an EV charger. Located steps to river pathways, parks, and minutes to downtown, this is a unique opportunity to own a signature home in one of Ottawa's most prestigious neighbourhoods. (id:27476)
