968 ARKELL STREET — Ottawa, Ontario

Some homes just let you live in them. This one lets you live differently. Whether you're a growing family ready for real space, a couple planting roots with the future in mind, a multi-generational household tired of everyone making compromises, or a shift worker who needs a sleeping space that stays separate from the household's daily rhythm - 968 Arkell Street was designed for the way real life actually works. The main floor opens with a generous living and dining room, then leads you back to the family room: sun-drenched, soaring, with vaulted ceilings, pot lights, and an electric fireplace that becomes the gravitational centre of the home. Morning coffee. Sunday reading. Everything. There's also a main-floor bedroom, a second room perfect for an office or second main-level bedroom, and a beautiful vintage 4-piece bathroom. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level (2018) offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own ensuite, walk-in closet, and more storage than homes twice the size. A second family room, a 3-piece bath with stand-up shower, and real, usable storage. Nothing sacrificed - everything a parent, grandparent, shift worker coming off a night shift, or anyone who needs their own quiet corner of the home could ask for. Outside is a fully fenced backyard that earns the word tranquil: a deck, mature trees, and space to just be. Out front, the low-maintenance landscaping keeps the curb appeal effortless. And the location: less than 500 metres from three future LRT stations, and walking distance to excellent schools, including the exclusive Edward Bond Custom School. This isn't just a home for today - it's a position for what Ottawa is becoming.Flexible possession. Come see who you'll be when you live here. (id:63357)
