This beautiful residence is defined by its rare position overlooking the Rideau Canal and by a sense of character and romance that is increasingly difficult to find. Warm, inviting, and filled with natural light, the home offers an immediate emotional connection - one that feels timeless and inviting. The front garden enjoys stunning crabapple trees, while laneway access at the rear provides convenient parking.
