This 5-bed, 4-bath house in Barrhaven is all about flexibility, with a full in-law suite in the basement that has its own entrance. Upstairs you're getting four good-sized bedrooms including a primary with a walk-in closet and ensuite. The main floor's kitchen has granite counters and a peninsula island with bar seating, and there's a separate dining room for formal dinners. You might want to check the two fireplaces and the vaulted ceiling in the living room. The basement suite includes its own kitchen, a bedroom, a rec room with another fireplace, and a bonus room, so it could work well for extended family. There's also a main-floor office/den if you work from home. This house sits on a 33.3 x 99 ft lot with a fenced yard (one side redone in 2026), a deck, and cedar edging. Parking isn't a problem with a double attached garage plus driveway space for four cars, and there's an EV charger in the garage. Recent updates include the furnace (2022), roof and A/C (2018), and some basement fixtures (2026). The full basement is 1,000 sqft with taller ceilings, adding functional space below. Location-wise, you're 0.4 km from Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School and about 0.6 km from Mother Teresa, with Topper's Pizza and Fiamma within walking distance. Big-box shopping at Walmart, Sobeys, and tons of restaurants are all about 1.1 km away. Priced at $999,900, this is near the median for the area, and it's well set up for multi-generational living. The tax bill is around $6,093 yearly.
