One of the most unique homes in the city, offering spectacular views of Britannia Bay (aka Lac Deschenes) and the Ottawa River, with breathtaking sunsets enjoyed year. The open-concept design is centered around unique architectural elements, including cast iron panels and oak doors, bannisters, and newel posts from St. Andrew's Church.
