618 La Verendrye Drive, Ottawa

618 La Verendrye Drive enjoys a private southerly facing back yard, and when more space is needed, just free the children to run out on the lush green open spaces of La Verendrye Park, which lies right in the heart of the combined Beacon Hill North-Rothwell Heights neighbourhoods. Towering, mature green trees stand on and surround the property. (Aerial views show the house backing directly onto the park and a stone patio area just off the back of the house.) Tiled foyer, plus hardwood staircase and railings, welcome guests. The strip hardwood floors start in the formal living room, which offers a crackling wood fireplace, and carry throughout the formal spaces on the main floor. This classic centre hall plan with living room on the left and the formal dining room on the right offers wall space for even the biggest hutch/buffet, where the room overlooks the tranquil La Verendrye Park. Total kitchen replacement some time back enjoys loads of preparation counter spaces, double sink & ample cabinetry plus a huge double window for the chef to keep an eye on back yard happenings. (The kitchen photos show tiled flooring, light wood cabinetry, and a full‑size white refrigerator integrated into the layout.) The main floor family room directly off the kitchen makes it a quick trip for a snack while watching a movie or the big game. (This family room features large sliding glass patio doors with curtains that open to the south-facing backyard and patio, bringing in abundant natural light.) Direct access from the garage to the kitchen hall is next to the updated main floor powder room, which saves steps through the house from kids coming in for a bathroom break. (The updated powder room is bright and fresh with a white vanity, round mirror and contemporary fixtures as shown.) Primary bedroom boasts two windows, plus an ensuite with plans available with listing rep to convert to 3-piece, huge closet space, and a nook for a clothes bureau. (Photos show the primary bedroom’s hardwood floor, generous light from the windows and a comfortable layout with space for additional furniture.) Generous 2nd, 3rd and 4th bedrooms with huge windows meet any child's approval. 4-piece, updated main bathroom, with a bright, fresh window, meets the whole family's approval. Well-developed basement from earlier times offers the option for a great home office. The rec-room is the perfect place for the children and guests to game, watch a movie or sports. Bright, spacious laundry room. Full bathroom addition in the basement is possible. (Floor plan included with the listing confirms the centre-hall arrangement, attached garage access into the kitchen hall and the overall room configuration.) (id:1945)
