Tucked into the established Sawmill Creek Estates community in Ottawa's south end, this bright and beautifully updated home offers a distinctive multi-level layout, inviting living spaces and a private backyard retreat. The living room makes an immediate impression with its extra-high ceilings, cozy fireplace and natural light. Skylights elsewhere in the home add to the bright, airy feel. The interesting split-level design creates a natural separation between living spaces while maintaining an open, welcoming atmosphere. The home features three spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a large ensuite, offering a comfortable place to unwind at the end of the day. Downstairs, the finished recreation room provides valuable additional living space, with a walkout leading directly to the private backyard. Thoughtfully landscaped with perennial gardens, this charming outdoor space may be compact, but it offers a lovely setting to enjoy warmer days, tend to the flowers or relax outdoors. With its appealing architectural character, thoughtful updates, soaring ceilings and flexible living space, this home offers something a little different from the ordinary. Access to Sawmill Creek Trail. Steps to shops, groceries, restaurants, schools, transit, parks and more!
