55 Delong Drive, Ottawa

Tucked into one of Ottawas most prestigious neighbourhoods, this exceptional 4-bed, 4-bath home blends architectural sophistication with luxurious upgrades and standout recreational features. Set on a lush, private lot just 500 meters from the Ottawa river pathway, it offers over 3,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a curved island with bar seating that flows into a warm and inviting living room with large windows, hardwood floors, and a cozy fireplace. The entry and main stairwell introduce a dramatic, light-filled welcome (a two-storey foyer with an open-riser wood staircase and sleek metal balustrade that floods the space with natural light from tall windows). A four-season solarium with heated natural stone floors and an automatic awning offers year-round comfort and backyard views. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a private balcony (accessed through glass doors), walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated ensuite with dual vanity and glass shower (the ensuite features a dark wood floating double vanity with large mirror and a frameless glass walk-in shower with tiled surround). The bedroom also includes a ceiling fan and ample hardwood flooring for a serene retreat. The lower level offers a golf simulator room with a full A/V setup for immersive entertainment (complete with a large projection screen, ceiling-mounted projector, AV rack and a dedicated hitting area on rubberized flooring), plus a discreet garage entrance that enhances privacy and functionality. With a full bathroom and bedroom on this level, it can easily accommodate an in-law suite or private guest quarters. Step outside to a private backyard retreat featuring a heated in-ground pool with unique custom granite coping and spa jets (a kidney-shaped pool visible from aerial views, accompanied by a circular spa, pool shed and generous stone decking), an outdoor kitchen with a natural gas grill and bar fridge, and a stylish pergola surrounded by mature trees. The backyard offers multiple lounging areas under a lattice-style pergola (comfortable grey rattan seating with colorful cushions and a separate lounge area with recliners), plus an expansive, manicured lawn ideal for play or entertaining, all framed by mature privacy trees. Smart home integration adds convenience with control over HVAC, pool, solarium heating, Nest doorbell, and outdoor cameras. As if that weren't enough, this R2000-standard home features double-walled construction, Pella windows throughout, and, combined with solar panels and an EV charger, offers an exceptional opportunity for sustainable living. Just minutes from top schools, nature trails, and downtown, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey home in Rothwell Heights. (id:1945)
