The Backyard Changes Everything: An Estate-Sized Lot on Gidran Circle, Blackstone
Every so often a home comes to market that doesn't really have a comparable. Not because of a renovation or a finish package, but because of something you can't change after the fact: the lot it sits on, and how few of its kind were ever built.
408 Gidran Circle in Kanata's Blackstone community is one of those homes.
A Huge Pie Lot — Fully Fenced, and Roughly 8,300 Sq. Ft.
Start outside, because that's where this property separates itself.
Most homes in newer Ottawa communities sit on lots that keep shrinking year over year. This one doesn't. 408 Gidran Circle sits on a huge pie-shaped lot of approximately 8,300 square feet — narrow at the street, then opening up dramatically toward the rear. It's already fully fenced, and it's on a quiet street rather than a busy through road.
That extra land is the whole point. The backyard is a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch.
A Rare 46' Cardel Ridgecrest — The Largest in the Recent Lineup
The second thing that makes this home rare is the model itself.
This is the Cardel Ridgecrest, built on the builder's 46-foot lot series — and at over 3,000 square feet of living space above grade, it is the largest home in Cardel's recent lineup. Very few were released in Blackstone, and they almost never surface on the resale market.
The scale shows up everywhere once you're inside: wider rooms, a more generous staircase hall, and a genuine full two-car garage rather than a squeezed one.
Bright, Airy, and Finished in a Modern Palette
Step inside to a cozy living and dining space anchored by a huge window that floods the front of the home with natural light.
The finish package leans intentionally modern and calm: Light-colour walls that keep every room feeling open, modern trim and clean lines throughout, 5" white oak hardwood flooring
A Kitchen with Three Separate Pantries
This is the detail that tends to win people over.
The kitchen at 408 Gidran Circle is genuinely built for people who cook and host. It includes three different pantries - bulk storage, and everyday overflow, all handled.
Three pantries do something no amount of cabinetry can: they keep the working kitchen clear. Small appliances, bulk goods, glassware and serving pieces all live out of sight, so your island stays a surface you actually use.
The Two-Storey Great Room
The signature moment of the Ridgecrest is the great room.
The ceiling opens straight through to the second floor, creating a two-storey volume at the heart of the home, wrapped in huge windows. Photos struggle with it - the scale and the light are things you have to stand in to understand.
A dedicated main-floor home office gives you a real door-closing workspace - not a corner of the dining room. A mudroom off the garage keeps daily clutter out of the living space.
Four Bedrooms Up, Plus Second-Floor Laundry
Upstairs the home delivers four true bedrooms. The oversized primary suite runs nearly eighteen feet, with a walk-in closet and a 5-piece ensuite featuring a soaker tub, a separate glass shower, and dual vanities. Three well-sized secondary bedrooms share a full main bath, and laundry sits on the bedroom level — a small planning decision that quietly removes a chore from your week.
A Basement Ready for What's Next
The lower level is unfinished and waiting, with a 3-piece bathroom rough-in already in place. Whether that becomes a rec room, a gym, a guest suite, or an in-law setup, the plumbing groundwork is done.
