Addendum
| Some properties offer a beautiful place to live... and others offer a true experience. Unit 1205 at VIU clearly belongs in the second category.
Perched on the 12th floor, this residence enjoys an absolutely remarkable panorama of the Ottawa River, Parliament Hill, downtown Ottawa and the surrounding green spaces. A view that is constantly changing, striking and memorable -- from the first light of morning to the city lights at night.
From the moment you step inside, natural light takes centre stage. The generous windows frame the scenery and give the living area an exceptional sense of openness and space. The living room, dining room and kitchen flow together seamlessly in a warm and inviting layout, equally suited for quiet evenings at home or entertaining family and friends.
And then there is the balcony. Spacious, deep and directly overlooking the river, it becomes a true outdoor living space. Morning coffee, evening drinks, brilliant fall colours, Canada Day fireworks... here, the view puts on a show almost every day.
The primary bedroom also benefits from the exceptional natural light and features an ensuite bathroom and storage space. The second bedroom offers the flexibility to welcome family and guests, create a home office or adapt the space to your lifestyle. A second full bathroom completes the unit.
Another highly sought-after advantage in an urban setting: 2 indoor parking spaces. A true privilege that adds comfort, flexibility and value to the property.
Living at VIU also means enjoying amenities that bring a hotel-like feel to everyday life: an indoor pool with a view, sauna, fitness room, expansive rooftop terrace with BBQ and lounge areas, concierge service and a secure environment.
The location is just as impressive. Only steps from Jacques-Cartier Park, the riverfront and cycling paths, you are also within easy reach of Old Hull, its restaurants, cafés, microbreweries, services and major government offices. Downtown Ottawa and the ByWard Market are nearby, while quick access to Highway 5 and Boulevard des Allumettières makes getting around the region easy.
Rarely does a property combine views, location, amenities and lifestyle this well. This is more than a condo. It is a way of life -- above the city, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the region. |
