About This Property

Turn off the road, climb the gravel drive through the hardwood bush, and the trees open onto 2.33 private acres at the end of a Dunrobin cul-de-sac. The cedar-sided house that sits there reads like a chalet — steep rooflines, arched windows, a covered porch — and it has been in the same family since 1991, maintained rather than flipped.

Inside, the main floor is one bright, connected space. A renovated kitchen — white cabinetry, stainless appliances, a large island with seating — opens to the dining area and on to a living room that runs seventeen by twenty-five feet, with a mantelled fireplace at one end and a freestanding wood stove at the other. Hardwood runs throughout. A sitting room off the dining area catches the afternoon light, and the laundry and powder room sit tucked off the foyer where they belong rather than in the basement.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own full bath. Two more bedrooms share a second full bath, and both bathrooms are lit by skylights cut straight into the roofline — the kind of detail that turns a utility room into a nice place to be. A family room fills the rest of the level and opens over the railing to the floor below, so the house never feels closed off from itself.

Down one more level, a finished recreation room of nearly 500 square feet currently works as a studio and home office, with generous unfinished storage alongside it — the kind of space a rural property actually needs.

Outside, an expansive deck rebuilt in 2024 runs along the back of the house and faces nothing but forest. There are no rear neighbours. A wooden shed sits back in the trees, and the circular gravel drive parks six or more without anyone having to move a car.

The expensive work is behind you: roof replaced in 2022, deck in 2024, water treatment system in 2024, and the furnace and heat pump both in 2025. The kitchen was renovated in 2018 and the bathrooms in 2014. Drilled well and septic mean no monthly water bill, and the City of Ottawa plows the cul-de-sac.

Dunrobin sits between Constance Bay and the Ottawa River to the north and Kanata to the south — ten minutes to the beach and boat launch, twenty to Kanata’s shops, restaurants and tech campuses, and quick access to Highway 417 via March Road. Closer still, a waterfall sits a ten-minute walk east of the property. Country quiet, without the drive that usually comes with it.
