1895 River Road

Exceptional craftsmanship meets relaxed waterfront luxury at this private two-acre retreat on the Rideau River. From the substantial wood detailing to the soaring ceilings and magnificent stone fireplace, this custom residence offers a richness of materials and workmanship that would be exceptionally costly to reproduce today. Exposed wood beams, wood-clad ceilings, hardwood flooring and beautifully detailed millwork bring warmth and character to the expansive interior. The great room's towering wood-burning fireplace creates a striking focal point, framed by generous windows overlooking the grounds and river. The kitchen pairs distinctive cabinetry with granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances and a gas range, creating an inviting setting for everyday meals and entertaining. A screened porch extends the living space into the surrounding landscape. The main-floor primary retreat features an indulgent ensuite with a steam shower and private access to the screened-in hot tub area. A second main-floor bedroom with its own ensuite, convenient laundry, an upper-level nanny suite and a separate open loft offer flexibility for family, guests and working from home. Beyond the finishes, substantial investment has been made in the home's infrastructure, with all mechanical systems replaced. Radiant floor heating, heat pumps & natural gas provide year-round comfort, complemented by a generator and maintained well and septic systems. A separate carriage house with a two-bay garage, functional living space and full bathroom adds versatility, with room for hobbies, a workshop or guests. Mature trees, established gardens and a chicken coop complete the country setting. Along the shoreline, docks invite days on the Rideau, while the waterfront seating area and stone fire pit set the scene for evenings beneath spectacular sunsets. A distinctive property where craftsmanship, modern comfort and the quiet luxury of riverfront living come together. Open House Nov 8, 2-4. (id:66888)
