Cross Streets: MacKay St & Bertrand St. ** Directions: Beechwood Ave to MacKay St to Ivy Crescent. Welcome to 41 Ivy Crescent, a home that has been completely reimagined with a designer's eye while thoughtfully preserving the character and charm that make it so special. Extensively renovated from top to bottom, every space has been carefully considered. Rich, moody tones, striking light fixtures, a cozy fireplace, and beautifully selected finishes create a home that feels both elevated and inviting.At the heart of the home is the fully renovated kitchen, featuring custom millwork, high-end appliances, and a thoughtful layout for everyday living and entertaining. With five bedrooms and three beautifully updated bathrooms, there is far more space here than first meets the eye. The main floor offers incredible flexibility with a full bathroom and a separate living space that could easily function as a main-floor bedroom, home office, or den.Upstairs, a second-storey addition created an impressive primary retreat complete with a private ensuite. New hardwood flooring throughout the upper level, along with a beautifully refinished staircase, new railings, and a custom runner, seamlessly connect the old with the new.The transformation continues downstairs, where the basement was excavated and lowered to create full-height living space. Extensive work included new pad footings, waterproofing, a sump pit, egress windows and a new staircase, creating a comfortable and functional extension of the home.Outside, the transformation is just as impressive, with new windows, exterior doors, vinyl board-and-batten siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, and more. Located in one of Ottawa's most charming neighbourhoods, you're close to the Ottawa River, Rideau Hall, great schools and steps to Beechwood shopping. (id:27476)
