3554 Vaughan Side Road, Ottawa

Welcome to 3554 Vaughan Side Road. A cherished, one-owner custom-built home, ready to be enjoyed by its next family. Tucked away on 40 acres, a serene picturesque, tree-lined laneway guides you to the inviting red-brick & vinyl-clad home. Natural landscaping, flagstone walkways, and perennial gardens set the tone, while a curved gravel driveway and low stone retaining walls frame the front garden beds. The covered front porch opens to a spacious, marble-tiled foyer (accented by an attractive light fixture) . Rich cherry hardwood floors span much of the main level (continuing into the formal dining room beneath a classic chandelier). Formal living room showcases custom trim work, double-sided propane fireplace and charming window seat overlooking the backyard. Equally elegant dining room features 9 garden doors opening onto the rear deck, as well as custom built-in cabinetry, and offers an easy flow to the graceful curved staircase. The kitchen is a showstopper, renovated in 2011 it has Mexican-clay tile flooring, stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink positioned before a wall of windows framing the great outdoors. A central island with seating and a stainless range hood provide extra prep and serving space and plenty of daylight from the large kitchen windows. Just beyond, a warm and inviting family room centers around a Vermont Castings propane stove set against a tiled/stone-accent wall and opens to a 3-season sunroom (the sunroom features abundant windows and skylights, flooding the space with light and views of the yard). A powder room completes the main floor. An elegant curved staircase leads to the second level. On one side, the oversized primary suite offers tranquil views, two closets, and an ensuite retreat with a jacuzzi soaking tub and walk-in shower. On the opposite side, additional bedrooms with generous closets and whimsical storage nooks in the eaves share a full bathroom with a stackable washer/dryer. The lower level hosts a private in-law suite with its own entrance, bright living room with propane fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom, and private bathroom — the living area’s large windows keep it bright and inviting while the separate access provides comfort and independence (ideal for extended family or potential rental income). The basement also provides abundant storage space and houses the utility room with furnace, water treatment system, and more. Outside, a detached double garage includes a large loft for storage or hobbies and ample room for vehicles and equipment. A generous rear deck with steps down to a level lawn, mature shade trees and perennial borders creates excellent outdoor living and entertaining space.
