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. 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 testament to the area's appeal: a neighbour notes that two former owners loved it so much they later built homes for themselves around the corner on Rodney Crescent.
