1926 Rideau Garden Drive presents a rare opportunity in the highly sought after Rideau Gardens community. Set on the Rideau River Nature Trail with no front facing neighbours and the river directly across the street, this exceptional property enjoys beautiful sunrise views at the front and stunning sunset exposure in the west facing backyard, creating a truly special setting. Inspired by timeless mid century modern design, the home features soaring ceilings, a stunning entrance with heated floors, and an open concept layout centered around a custom kitchen with an oversized island with seating for eight. The spacious primary suite overlooks the backyard pool and features a 5 piece ensuite and generous walk in closet, while three additional generously sized bedrooms and a large lower level living area provide excellent space for family living. The west facing backyard is a private retreat with all day sun, an inground pool, pool cabana with a cedar change room and storage space, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Surrounded by walking paths, parks, mature trees, and quiet low traffic streets, this is a rare chance to own in one of Ottawa’s most desirable neighbourhood pockets.
