Cross Streets: Second Line Rd S & Carsonby Rd E. ** Directions: Prince of Wales to Second Line Rd S, then turn on to Carsonby Rd E. Hidden from the road behind mature cedars, this distinctive country home sits on a private 0.63 acre lot measuring approximately 110 by 250 feet on a quiet dead end road. Built in 2010, with 2,464 square feet above grade, its understated exterior gives little indication of the space within. The dramatic great room features exposed post and beam construction, a soaring cathedral ceiling, tall windows and garden doors opening to the private side yard. The farmhouse kitchen with quartz counters includes an eating area and an oversized walk in pantry with room for a small office nook. A secondary bedroom with cheater access to the main bathroom and a laundry room complete the main floor. A metal spiral staircase rises to a bright open loft and a more private den, both overlooking the cathedral space below. The expansive primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, generous walk in closet and a large, partially finished bathroom that could be transformed into the ensuite of your dreams. The full height unfinished basement adds 896 square feet of storage and future potential. A geothermal forced air system provides heating and cooling, and the property is serviced by well and septic. Metal siding and roof add practicality. Outside, the south facing covered verandah extends about 50 feet across the front. The fully fenced backyard offers room for pets, play or gardening, while an 8 by 12 foot shed provides storage. The home requires further finishing and updating, including trim work, lighting and completion of the upper ensuite bathroom. Within the City of Ottawa, it is a short drive to Manotick, North Gower, Richmond, Manderley Golf Course and Highway 416, with central Ottawa just 30 minutes away. For a buyer ready to complete the vision, the home's impressive scale, timber detailing and private setting provide the foundation for something truly special. Some photos virtually staged.
