64 Helena Street

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street off Island Park Drive and just a short walk to Elmdale Elementary, 64 Helena is a custom home of exceptional craftsmanship in one of Ottawa's most coveted west-end enclaves. Behind a timeless stone facade and attached two-car garage lies a modern, elegantly designed layout created for the way today's families truly live. Clad inside and out in genuine Jerusalem cream stone and bathed in natural light, the main level is defined by soaring ten-foot ceilings, coffered plaster moulding crafted on site, and rich Ontario-sourced hardwood. At its heart, an oversize island by Atelier Louis L'Artisan Inc., topped in Cambria quartz, anchors a gracious chef's kitchen that flows effortlessly into the living and dining rooms. Outfitted for the serious cook, it features a Miele dual oven with steam cooking and a Blue Star gas cooktop. A cleverly designed mudroom off the garage opens to a walk-in pantry on one side and a powder room on the other, with quality glass pocket doors keeping each space beautifully separate. Groceries are put away in moments, and the kitchen is just a step through the pantry. Completing the main floor are a dedicated home office and a family room that can easily serve as a second office. Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms rest beneath nine-foot ceilings. The primary suite is a private retreat, offering a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired five-piece ensuite with heated floors, plumbed for a steam shower. The ensuite connects through to the fourth bedroom and a second walk-in closet, while a unique linen closet in the primary bathroom opens directly to the laundry room, making laundry a breeze. The finished lower level continues the sense of quality, with heated floors, a soundproofed theatre room with stage, an additional bedroom and a three-piece bath. Spacious yet warm and inviting, 64 Helena is a rare offering in one of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods. (id:28469)
