A rare blend of timeless character & thoughtful modern updates, this distinguished Alta Vista residence offers the charm of a classic 1930s centre hall plan with the comfort & functionality of today's living. Set on a generous treed corner lot, the home reflects the enduring appeal of this sought-after neighbourhood. Inside, generous principal rooms define the main level, all enhanced by hardwood flooring. The gracious living room showcases traditional detailing including crown mouldings, while the formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining. Just off the living room, a bright office or den with skylights offers an ideal work-from-home retreat or quiet reading space. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances & heated ceramic flooring, connecting seamlessly to a comfortable family room for practical everyday living. Thoughtfully expanded over time, the home offers a layout rarely found in properties of this era. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms with hardwood flooring are complemented by an updated 4-piece bathroom with heated floors. The spacious primary bedroom includes double closets. The lower level adds flexibility with a recreation room featuring a gas stove & a convenient 2-piece bathroom. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with multiple deck areas overlooking a private yard. A pond with fountain just off the deck adds a tranquil focal point. Alta Vista remains one of Ottawa's most established & desirable neighbourhoods, known for its wide streets, mature trees, & strong sense of community. Faircrest Heights offers a quiet residential setting while remaining exceptionally well located: walking distance to parks, schools, & amenities; close to the Ottawa Hospital General Campus & CHEO; easy access to downtown, the Glebe, Riverside Drive, Elmvale Acres, & Bank Street shopping. A neighbourhood where homes are held for years - & for good reason.
