1981 PRINCE OF WALES DRIVE — Ottawa, Ontario

Wake up to the quiet beauty of herons gliding across the water and end your day with sunset reflections along your private shoreline. This exceptional waterfront residence, designed by award-winning Canterra architect Cosimo Zacconi, offers a rare opportunity to experience refined living in a setting that feels both peaceful and connected. Set on a private riverfront lot, the home blends striking modern architecture with natural surroundings. Stucco and masonry façades, a streamlined roofline, and oversized European windows create a timeless exterior, while a 9-foot Sapele wood entry door welcomes you into interiors defined by stone, porcelain, and white oak, accented by black details, geometric lighting, and sweeping river views. Custom millwork by Marina Medina Design and Exotic Wood of Ottawa enhances both form and function. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features Thermador appliances, a six-burner gas range with induction, dual ovens, a 10-foot Tahiti quartzite island, and oak cabinetry. The adjoining living and dining areas are anchored by a 13-foot linear fireplace, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. With six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, including two spa-inspired ensuites, the home offers exceptional flexibility. The light-filled lower level is seamlessly integrated with the landscape, featuring a recreation area, three-sided fireplace, wet bar, and walkout access to a covered terrace. Above the three-car garage, a private loft suite includes the sixth bedroom - ideal as a guest retreat, home office, or in-law suite for multigenerational living - with its own deck and full bath. Outdoor living is equally impressive with glass-railed decks, a covered lanai, and a permanent dock along a naturalized shoreline. Built with insulated concrete forms, this home offers outstanding durability, efficiency, and comfort-an exceptional opportunity to enjoy waterfront living at its finest. (id:63357)
