Some homes impress you. Others make you feel something the moment you arrive. A long, gently curving driveway winds through a private, almost forest-like setting before revealing this remarkable Carlsbad Springs property. Rolling hills, mature surroundings, a pond and a beautifully curved brick walkway create an arrival that feels more like a country retreat than a home just a short drive from Ottawa.Inside, the attention to detail continues with bright, open living spaces, quality finishes and tasteful wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring flowing throughout. At the heart of the home is the absolutely stunning new white kitchen-elegant, timeless and beautifully appointed, with tall cabinetry and an impressive oversized island that naturally becomes the gathering place for family and friends.And the lifestyle is every bit as impressive.Enjoy your morning coffee on the welcoming front veranda, relax in the rear sunroom overlooking the property, or spend summer afternoons around the dream swimming pool, surrounded by beautiful views and remarkable privacy.Then there's the garage-and calling it a garage hardly does it justice. Exceptional in width, length and height, it's the kind of space you'll rave about to your friends. Cars, recreational toys, a workshop,the possibilities are extraordinary. The fully finished lower level adds another dimension, featuring a complete, functional in-law suite, along with generous additional storage and versatile living space.Outside, the rolling landscape, pond, pool, outbuildings and sense of seclusion combine to create something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy and tranquility without giving up proximity to the city.This isn't simply a beautiful home.It's a property that looks like it belongs on the cover of a magazine-and a lifestyle that could belong to you.For the buyer searching for quality, character, privacy and an extraordinary country lifestyle close to Ottawa, this is a home that simply must be experienced.
