Amenities and special features of this house
An “urban farm”, this certified LEED Platinum house designed by John Donkin and built by RND is tucked away on a leafy lot overlooking a park. Facing south with plantings for eating, fruit trees, vines for privacy, rain barrels for irrigation & green roofs—the gardens are plentiful. Winner of the 2014 Green Home of the Year by the GOHBA Housing Design Awards & constructed from materials that are healthy for the earth & homeowners; this property is unique. The architectural language unites natural elements such as reclaimed barn board, detailing in walnut & BC fir with industrial accents such as galvanized steel. The kitchen is the perfect spot for preparing meals from produce harvested on site, with hardworking high commercial grade appliances like Wolf and Sub Zero. On the 2nd floor there is an office & bedrooms or perhaps a yoga studio. Located on the top level is the treehouse-like master suite. The lower level suite offers a kitchen, bedroom & rec room and is perfect as an in-law or nanny suite. This property is dog friendly with a dog run integrated into the lush landscape plan, and there is an indoor dog shower. Located in a walkable neighbourhood close to the ByWard Market, Canal, schools, University of Ottawa as well as libraries, shopping and the LRT, this one has it all.
