A Rare Find in One of Ottawa’s Most Prestigious Neighbourhoods
Bridlewood has been one of Kanata South’s most desirable communities for decades — and for good reason. Quiet, tree-lined streets, excellent schools, and easy access to NCC Trails 20 through 27 make it a natural choice for families who want space to breathe without giving up convenience. This particular home sits on one of those streets: calm, child-friendly, and lined with the kind of mature trees that take a generation to grow.
It’s a rare 5-bedroom layout with 3 full baths on the upper level— genuinely uncommon in any market — and one that was originally selected as a CHEO Dream Home. Built by Tamarack Homes in 1999 and lovingly maintained ever since, the house has the bones of a quality build and the updates of an attentive owner.
Main Floor: Warm, Open, and Made for Gathering
Step inside and the foyer sets the tone immediately — tile underfoot, an arched transom window above the front door, and warm light spilling from every direction. New hardwood floors installed on the main level run throughout the living and dining rooms and family room, catching the light beautifully at any hour of day
The family room anchors the rear of the home with a gas fireplace, a large window, and direct sightlines into the kitchen. It’s the kind of room where dinner conversation continues naturally as someone finishes cooking — exactly how it should be.
Upstairs: Five Real Bedrooms, Three Full Baths
Head up the staircase — rich wood treads, white risers, wrought iron spindles — and the upper level opens into a generous landing with new hardwood floors (installed spring 2025).
The primary bedroom is the standout: a vaulted ceiling, a dramatic arched window that floods the room with natural light, and its own private ensuite. One other bedrooms also has its own ensuite bath — an unusual luxury that makes mornings dramatically easier. The third full bath on this level, updated with a new double-sink countertop in spring 2025, serves the remaining 3 bedrooms.
Two front-facing bedrooms have UV-protective glazing on the new triple-pane windows — a practical detail that protects flooring and furnishings for years to come.
The Backyard: Your Private Retreat
The oversized, fully fenced yard is private in the truest sense — no rear neighbours, mature evergreens along the back fence, and enough space to do whatever you like with it. Right now that means a large deck with a gazebo and patio seating, and raised garden beds along one side.
The Basement: A Blank Canvas
Finished in fall 2025, the basement is clean, bright, and completely open — ready to become whatever your family needs. Pot lights, new luxury vinyl flooring, crisp white walls, and enough square footage for a home theatre, gym, playroom, or all three.
