Around the Maple

Inside this McKellar Park, Ottawa custom home, blue entry doors open to a bright kitchen, dining, and living area, where an L-shaped kitchen pairs a white quartz island and oak base cabinets with a beer fridge and double ovens. French-cut white oak floors and 9-foot ceilings run throughout, and a mudroom with a built-in bench keeps the entry organized. Upstairs, a full second floor replaces the original half-storey loft, with a primary suite that has windows on two sides facing the maple, two walk-in closets, a freestanding soaker tub, and a laundry room close by. A wraparound porch makes the most of the corner lot.
