Addendum
| More space. More quiet. More life. Coffee on the deck overlooking the Gatineau River. Evening walks on the nearby Voie-Verte. Sun pouring through the windows all day. Life at 18 Ch. Kirk's Ferry feels different from the moment you arrive. A full building inspection and septic inspection as already been completed and is available. The seller is also in the process of ordering a new certificate of location. Perfectly positioned overlooking the Gatineau River and bordering the Chelsea Community Trail, this well-maintained brick bungalow offers a lifestyle that is becoming harder and harder to find; nature as part of your everyday routine, yet only approximately 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa. The current owners have loved this property for 36 years, and it's easy to understand why. Summers spent kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, biking, gardening and enjoying life by the river with family, friends and neighbours, creating the kind of memories that stay with you forever. In winter, the nearby Voie-Verte is groomed multiple times per week for cross-country skiing, making outdoor activity part of everyday life year-round. Inside, the home feels bright, warm and welcoming. Large windows maximize panoramic river views and natural light throughout, all replaced in 2009 and in exceptional condition. The east-facing deck captures morning through evening sun; an ideal spot for coffee, entertaining or simply unwinding with a view you will never get tire of. The main floor offers 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. The walkout lower level adds a 4th bedroom, second full bathroom and second kitchen; excellent potential for an in-law suite, guest space or multigenerational living. Heated and cooled with the help of an electric heat pump installed in late 2020, with an oil furnace for the coldest days and two wood-burning fireplaces adding warmth and atmosphere. The waterfront area in front of the property was previously maintained under a lease with Hydro-Québec for over 30 years before the land was sold to the Municipality of Chelsea in 2020. Buyers are encouraged to complete their own verifications regarding any intended use or rights associated with the waterfront area. The large driveway accommodates up to 8 vehicles, and the property benefits from year-round access on a municipally maintained road. Properties offering this combination of river views, outdoor lifestyle and proximity to Ottawa rarely come available. Only 20 minutes from Ottawa, but mentally a world away. |
