SOLD – 1560 Lords Manor Lane Rideau Forest

Exceptional Properties proudly presents a wonderful opportunity in Manotick’s coveted Rideau Forest. The handsome stucco exterior and design  crafted by well known local builder John Gerard, creates a strong presence on the curb with this beautiful manor home discreetly nestled into a private 2 acre treed lot featuring landscaping design by Outer Creations.

If you have a taste for the finer things in life and prefer a quiet and understated life style of elegance and supreme comfort then the elements of design and flare that are combined to complete this work of art will not disappoint from the threshold and throughout.

Simple yet classic details are included in this plan to present a feeling of gracious and comfortable living. The warm tone hardwood floors are complimented with a strong granite stone entrance. The trim and millwork throughout this residence are striking and detailed and create the perfect tone for this family home; stylish, warm and most of all comfortable.

The design includes soaring cathedral ceilings in both the formal living room and family room along with cozy spaces in which to cocoon while escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The kitchen is designed for a real gourmand with an excellent layout that allows for efficiency while creating hearty repasts using the 36 inch Wolf gas range, Miele dishwasher as well as a built-in KitchenAid combination convection/steam microwave and convection oven that expands methods for meal preparation. The kitchen features an island for food preparation as well as a breakfast bar and large eat-in area that overlooks the south facing garden and salt water pool.

The family room is an inviting space to relax after a long day in front of the warm wood burning fireplace and offers the opportunity to catch a favourite movie. The family room features stunning floor to ceiling windows, custom fabricated millwork and cabinetry and is open to the loft style library above.

The “cottage” off the family room is a cleverly designed and delightful three season space that is designed to compliment the pool area. No worries about wet feet running through to one of 2 powder rooms on this level as the warm natural stone tile will handle water and prevent slipping. The hooks on the beaded board walls are a great landing spot for wet towels. Obviously this space is well planned as it is located next to the mud room and laundry area with the same level of interior finishings as every other room in this home and boasts beautifully finished cabinetry, warm stone floors, organizers and laundry chute!

The formal rooms on this level are perfect for more intimate gatherings and entertaining. The living room is a beautiful space anchored with a Vermont Castings gas fireplace. The butler’s pantry is strategically located between the kitchen and dining room. Lots of space for stem ware, china and of course the included wine fridge!

The master suite is located on the main level with easy access to the private den or office. The ensuite is luxuriously appointed with honed travertine marble in neutral tones and is flooded with natural light.

Three other beautifully appointed bedrooms are on the second level. Two ensuite baths are finished with the same quality and level finishings that are evident throughout this truly magazine quality home.

The gardens and pool area are part of a beautiful landscape design that features meandering flower beds, interesting multi stem specimen trees as well as a beautifully mature forested area in the rear. All of this is managed with an efficient in-ground irrigation system and accented with an attractive lighting plan.
