Cross Streets: Carling Ave & Preston St. ** Directions: Carling Ave. Sunset chasers, this one's for you. Perched on the 36th floor of the Claridge Icon - the city's most recognizable tower - this northwest-facing Nelson model delivers what money usually can't buy: front-row seats to the best sunsets in Ottawa. Every evening, the sky ignites over the Ottawa River and the Gatineau Hills, and floor-to-ceiling windows pull it all inside, alongside sweeping views of the skyline. All 735 sq ft glow with natural light from dawn to dusk. This 2-bed, 1-bath home is open-concept living, elevated. The gourmet kitchen anchors the space with full-height white cabinetry, quartz counters, a striking waterfall island with breakfast seating, a full-height marble-inspired backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an undermount sink - flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas. Sliding glass doors open to an oversized balcony that becomes your second living room above the city: the perfect perch for golden hour, or morning coffee with the hills on the horizon. Both bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and direct balcony access, with the primary just steps from a stylish full bath with modern vanity. A welcoming entry offers porcelain tile, generous closet space, and discreet in-suite laundry. Downstairs, world-class amenities await: 24-hour concierge, indoor pool, fitness centre, yoga studio, sauna, theatre, party rooms, guest suites, and outdoor entertaining spaces. At the base of Little Italy along Dow's Lake, you're steps from restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and year-round festivals. Commissioners Park, the Rideau Canal, and the Central Experimental Farm put walking, cycling, paddling, and skating right at your door. The new Civic Hospital Campus is being built across the street, and both the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and Lansdowne are minutes away. uOttawa and Carleton U are also accessible by public transit, thanks to multiple nearby LRT lines! Sophisticated condo living at its finest - where every day ends with a sunset. (id:27476)
