About this home
Set on 5.43 acres of mature forest in prestigious Saddlebrooke Estates in rural Kanata, this architecturally distinctive executive estate offers an exceptional combination of superior craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property feels remarkably secluded yet is incredibly close to all amenities. Designed by award-winning architect André Godin, the home has been created to embrace its natural setting. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, generous proportions and abundant natural light create a remarkable sense of openness, while stone, stucco and distinctive copper accents give the home a timeless, sophisticated presence. With more than 7,300 square feet of living space, this home is perfectly suited for a large or multi-generational family, entertaining, and working from home. The heart of the home is a spectacular great room with soaring ceilings, dramatic windows and a wood stove, complemented by a tranquil sunroom overlooking the gardens and a spacious dining room with fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is exceptionally appointed with high-end stainless-steel appliances, including two dishwashers, double wall ovens and a six-burner range with BBQ cooktop. Very recent upgrades include the primary ensuite and a newly finished private suite ideal for guests, older children or extended family. The walk-out lower level features a family room with wood-burning fireplace, games room, home theatre, extensive storage and a substantial workshop. Exceptionally well maintained by its original owner, this remarkable home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years. Every aspect reflects pride of ownership, quality and attention to detail. A rare private architectural estate where character, comfort, craftsmanship and an extraordinary natural setting come together beautifully. If you enjoy peace, nature and tranquility, this could be the one for you. (id:28469)
