383 Ashbury Road is ideally located in Rockcliffe Park’s Old Village and is steps from Ottawa’s top schools. This distinguished property blends period charm with modern convenience and comfort to create a perfect family residence. It has been in the ownership of one family for over a generation and has been extensively updated and meticulously maintained.

This elegant, Georgian Revival-style home with its centre-hall plan welcomes you with warm colours, white oak flooring and naturally lit spaces throughout. French doors and original crown moldings invite you to enter two excellent entertaining areas – a Dining Room (that can seat up to 12 persons) and an elegant Living Room that features a large wood-burning fireplace and an adjacent west-facing screened-in porch surrounded by spiraea bushes – a perfect space for dining ‘en plein air’ or a sunset drink.

The completely updated chef’s kitchen includes grey quartz countertops, pantry wall, eat-in bar, farmhouse kitchen sinks, pot-light and task lighting, a high-end, stainless steel gas cooktop, two convection ovens, a microwave hood fan, and a double-door refrigerator. A new egress within the kitchen provides direct access to a private deck and patio, ideal for barbecuing and summer garden parties.

The ground floor is completed by a newly installed two-piece powder room. At the rear entrance (off the driveway and close to the kitchen) there is a convenient mudroom with built-in storage.

Upstairs, the private primary bedroom retreat is light and bright, spacious, and thoughtfully planned. A personal sundeck off this room is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or quiet read overlooking the grounds. The six-piece spa-like ensuite features a large soaker tub, double under-mounted vanity wash basins (all fixtures by Kohler) set into a beautifully rich, earth-toned granite counter, a bidet, and a frameless shower. A recently installed walk-in closet designed by California Closets offers extensive hanging space, a full slate of drawers and cubbies, together with two separate shoe closets.

Two generously proportioned secondary bedrooms with large windows, an updated full bathroom, and a new laundry facility enhance the family-friendly second floor layout.

The third floor lends itself perfectly to older children, guest suites or home office-use with two additional bedrooms, a full, updated bathroom with clawfoot tub, as well as ample storage space.

The generously sized lower-level family room with a modern electric fireplace creates a cozy vibe for relaxation and the ideal play area for people of all ages. With its privacy and space, this room could also be set up as a multi-media centre, music studio or gym. In addition, the unfinished part of the basement provides an immense storage space, a secondary laundry unit, and a handy workshop.

This home is sited in the middle of landscaped grounds on a large corner lot bordered on two sides by fragrant lilac bushes. An interlock pathway leads around the property to a beautiful back patio, providing another idyllic setting for private, al fresco dining or simply some peaceful solitude amongst the lush landscaping and picturesque lilacs. A sizeable yard promotes outdoor play with the younger set beneath a canopy of majestic trees. Both lawn and gardens benefit from an integrated sprinkler system.

An attached two-car garage offers sufficient space for two vehicles plus additional storage for boats, bikes, tools and other hobbies.

Located in the heart of Rockcliffe Park Village, 383 Ashbury Road is only steps away from Ottawa’s top schools – Ashbury College, Elmwood School, Rockcliffe Park Public School, and St. Brigid School. Children can walk or bike safely to school in mere moments. The park-like environment of Rockcliffe always provides an incredible backdrop for fun and adventure, whether it’s cross-country skiing in the Rockeries, swimming in The Pond, meandering through Jubilee Gardens or dog walks through Pine Hill. The neighbourhood also boasts some of Ottawa’s best sports clubs, including the Rockcliffe Lawn & Tennis Club and the Ottawa New Edinburgh Club which offers tennis and numerous watersports on the Ottawa River.

Finally, the nearby high street of Beechwood Avenue, which offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafés, is within walking distance. Convenient public transportation to downtown and beyond is also just minutes away.
