2101 Alta Vista Drive

Overview

A truly distinctive home in the heart of Alta Vista, 2101 Alta Vista Drive brings together the character of its original home with an exceptional addition showcasing warm woods, exposed beams and a distinctly mid-century influence. Set on a private 60' x 120' lot surrounded by mature trees and established gardens, this is a home with remarkable space, craftsmanship and personality. The original home offers warm, inviting living and dining spaces with hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a beautiful stone fireplace. Beyond, the substantial addition creates an unexpected architectural experience with exposed beams, rich wood detailing, parquet flooring, expansive windows overlooking the gardens and a dramatic fireplace. The main level also includes the functional kitchen and a convenient powder room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a striking beamed wood ceiling and private ensuite complete with its own sauna and deck overlooking the private backyard. A finished lower level provides additional flexible living space, while three fireplaces throughout the home add warmth and character. Centrally located, yet the backyard feels remarkably quiet and private, enveloped by mature trees and established gardens. There's a wonderful European-inspired charm here, including a sitting area beneath established grapevines, an intimate spot for long summer dinners, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the garden. A rare opportunity to own a home that has evolved through different eras, with exceptional original details, generous proportions and endless potential to make it your own, all in an established Alta Vista neighbourhood, close to the hospitals, parks and schools, with downtown Ottawa just minutes away.
