Custom Canal Condo

This new condo was highly customized from the builders’ original plan. At only 3780 square feet, the home was not excessive in the space allocation, and yet the classic modern design has generous room sizes and in some cases very large scale for the living spaces. Designed for a family of five that frequently enjoy entertaining family and friends, the main floor of the home (which is the second floor of the building as it is a stacked condo, with the ground floor a different unit) accommodates the primary living areas.
The anchor of the home is the stunning kitchen with an über-sized island. The kitchen shares the open space with the living room and dining room. Both of these rooms have beautiful views over the Rideau Canal. The mudroom, powder room, mechanical room along with the family room are all part of the main floor.
The second floor accommodates a master suite with a large bath and wardrobe, a shared bath, laundry room, an office and a second mechanical room. On the rooftop is an urban garden designed for entertaining and enjoying spectacular views as far as Gatineau Hills.
A minimalist approach to all the fixture and finish selections, and very careful attention to detail with flush doorframes and baseboards, “floating ceilings,” along with a stunning staircase in the center of the house, results in a home where quality living is comfortable.
