Proudly presenting this one-of-a-kind property in Ottawa, set on 5 scenic acres with beautiful river frontage. Enjoy peaceful water views throughout every season, with panoramic scenery thoughtfully captured from nearly every room in the home. Designed with nature in mind, this residence offers an exceptional layout that highlights the surrounding landscape at every turn. The private primary suite occupies its own wing and features custom built-ins along with a relaxing sitting area. The main living spaces-including the living room, sitting area, and dining room-flow seamlessly together, all centered around a stunning stone fireplace and framed by breathtaking views. From the moment you step inside, the home feels warm and inviting. As you move beyond the entry, you're immediately greeted with spectacular rear-facing windows that showcase the natural beauty of the property. The kitchen offers a functional and welcoming space with a bar area, breakfast nook, and dedicated coffee station. The lower level expands the living space with a large family room, complete with a game table area and a cozy central fireplace. A recreation room features both a pool table and air hockey table, all included with the home. Most furnishings can remain, offering a move-in-ready opportunity, negotiable with the sale. Set back with a private wooded approach, the property features a long driveway leading to a circular entrance, providing both privacy and impressive curb appeal. Real Estate taxes for 2024 reflect an assessment based on a value of 760K. The furnace was updated in 2023. The lower-level storage area has future bath pre-plumbed.

    "Need a vehicle to access most areas of Ottawa. Walking is an option, due to many sidewalks. Ottawa is limited because of only one bridge crossing the Illinois River. The Northeast side of town (where the High School located) is also limited because of only 2 ways in and out. Currently it has only 1 way due to construction. "

    "There’s a lot of other dogs so if your dog doesn’t like other dogs just be careful. Everyone picks up after there animals pretty well and most of the dogs are nice. A lot of them end up being aggressive with your dog but other than that it’s a lovely place for your dog. "

    "Location cannot be beat. Lovely area filled with unique styles of homes. Not a cookie-cutter development. Quiet, peaceful and friendly. Great mix of people of all ages. Well maintained homes make the North side a sought after location. Believe it or not, there are people who actually did not know this area of Ottawa exists. Close enough to the downtown area if you choose to take a nice walk to the riverfront. Good caring neighbors. Cannot emphasize enough how nice and tranquil it is in this area. Great School District, close to all churches and Ottawa Regional Hospital and Medical Center. Definately a lovely place to live. "
