Prepare to be moved by this Rideau Park masterpiece, where architectural daring meets effortless elegance. Encompassing over 4,000 square feet of brilliantly executed living area, this reinvented 1.5-storey sanctuary offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a versatile upper loft. The floor plan strikes a rare harmony, offering fluid open-plan gathering zones Alongside cozy, private retreats. Styled by the iconic Phaedra Godchild, the home achieves a striking contrast between airy grandeur and moody warmth—where soaring pitched ceilings and clever skylights cast sunlight across rich finishes, bespoke woodwork, and character-rich brick.

At the center of the main level sits a culinary showpiece: a sweeping central island wrapped in moody waterfall quartz, outfitted with premium integrated Miele appliances (gas cooktop, wall oven, paneled fridge, and dishwasher). Sleek, seamless millwork flows effortlessly into an inviting built-in dining nook and a sunlit living room anchored by a linear gas fireplace, all wired with a high-end Sonos sound system. Nearby, a dramatic half-bath makes a striking impression with dark tile, tropical wall coverings, and warm metallic hardware, while a secluded glass-enclosed nook offers a whisper-quiet home office.

The main-level primary wing serves as a private oasis, boasting a custom walk-in wardrobe and an opulent 5-piece bath fitted with dual vanities, an expansive walk-in multi-head rain shower, and a deep soaking tub.

The upper story hosts two generous bedrooms, a crisp 4-piece bath, and an expansive flex loft designed for lounging, homework, or creative play. Below, the fully finished lower level is engineered for hosting: a massive recreation room anchors a custom wet bar, a breathtaking glass-front wine cellar, a dedicated fitness room, two additional guest rooms, a full bath, and abundant hidden storage.

Outdoor spaces are crafted for effortless leisure, featuring a private side deck with a sunken hot tub, a personal putting green, a sun-soaked front terrace with a integrated fire pit, a fully enclosed yard, and a dedicated dog run. Complete with an oversized double garage, year-round custom exterior lighting, central air, and a location steps from the Glencoe Club, Elbow River trails, and 4th Street dining, this turnkey residence is truly in a league of its own.
