Kanata Estates, developed jointly by Urbandale Construction and Richcraft Homes, is one of Ottawa's most prestigious suburban neighbourhoods. Built on top of the 500-million-year-old granite of the South March highlands, this area is known for its incredible geography and proximity to nature. Bordered to the west and north by a 6-meter nature buffer and the Kizell Pond protected wetlands, dozens of kilometres of hiking trails are just a 2-minute walk away. There is even a natural skating rink at the Kizell Pond, accessible during the winter. Simultaneously, Kanata Estates is extremely close to shopping & dining at Kanata Centrum and Kanata Lakes Plaza, and within the school zone of top local schools including Earl of March Secondary School and W. Erskine Johnson Elementary School.
Laughlin Circle is one of Kanata Lakes' most prestigious streets, filled with large single-family homes built by Ottawa's best builders. On this street, you will find this home, a beautiful Richcraft ‘Wellesley' model on a prime south-facing lot, allowing for tons of natural light at all times of day. This home is well-proportioned, with large living spaces, four large bedrooms, three bathrooms above grade and a fully-finished basement with 9′ ceilings and a full bed & bath.
Step through the large porch to find a large foyer adjacent to a well-proportioned living & dining space. The casual “front” living space overlooks a large front-facing window, and could be used for anything—from a reading den to a space for a grand piano. Behind it is the formal dining room, including dual windows and a beautiful light fixture. Throughout these spaces are the home's high-end features—oak hardwood flooring, crown moulding, and upgraded pot lights & light fixtures. The living spaces sit beside a central curved oak staircase, which serves as a central focal point.
Behind the feature staircase is the family room and kitchen. This space is absolutely flooded with natural light, due to massive high windows facing south towards the backyard. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated by the original homeowners with white shaker cabinetry, calacatta quartz countertops and a full set of new stainless steel appliances. The adjoining breakfast area has a high ceiling, complemented by a high window. A full laundry room and windowed powder room complete the first floor.
Upstairs, find four spacious bedrooms, facing either front or back—no side-facing bedrooms! The primary suite is grand, ft. raised ceilings and two big windows, and comes complete with a large walk-in closet and 4-pc ensuite. Three remaining bedrooms share a spacious main bathroom. The fully-finished basement includes high 9′ ceilings and large windows. A conveniently-located 3-pc ensuite is located next to a massive flex room, which can be used as a fifth bedroom or as a home theatre.
