Some homes seem to ask you to slow down the moment you arrive. Set among the trees on 18.9 acres in Dunrobin, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is one of them. Private, peaceful and the kind of character that makes a property feel discovered rather than simply visited. Inside, there's warmth to the architecture. Arched openings lead from one space to the next, while dark hardwood, exposed wood beams, wrought-iron railings and brick and stone give the home an almost storybook quality. Large windows draw the outdoors in, filling the rooms with natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. At the heart of the living room, a substantial ... read more

Some homes seem to ask you to slow down the moment you arrive. Set among the trees on 18.9 acres in Dunrobin, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is one of them. Private, peaceful and the kind of character that makes a property feel discovered rather than simply visited. Inside, there's warmth to the architecture. Arched openings lead from one space to the next, while dark hardwood, exposed wood beams, wrought-iron railings and brick and stone give the home an almost storybook quality. Large windows draw the outdoors in, filling the rooms with natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. At the heart of the living room, a substantial stone fireplace feels made for long winter evenings. The inviting kitchen features farmhouse-inspired details, a central island, built-in appliances and generous cabinetry. An informal dining area and adjoining balcony create an easy place for morning coffee or lingering meals with friends. A half-level landing opens into an unexpected sitting area, wrapped in four large bay windows. A few steps further are four bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite, plus a 4-piece main bath. Make trails through the woods. Grow an ambitious garden. Build an outdoor rink. Spend summer nights under the stars. Included: Broil King XL BBQ, Starlink Kit (dish and modem, already set up for backup internet), premium wrought iron outdoor furniture, patio umbrella, Outsunny aluminum greenhouse/planting shed (new in box), snowblower, lawn tractor, full fabric gazebo kit and zip line kit (neither set up), and various gardening and DIY tools. Despite the feeling of having escaped somewhere entirely different, you haven't left Ottawa. This is a place with room to breathe, explore and make your own; a home where life can be a little quieter, a little more playful, and perhaps even a little more magical. (id:25417)
