Property of the Week: A 1971 Bungalow on a Double Lot in Eagle Ridge

Where it is

40 Eagle Ridge Place S.W.

The design

Loving updates and attention to detail have allowed this bungalow to age gracefully since it was built in 1971. Hardwood flooring with a parquet design, lush gardens, a grand foyer and commercial-grade kitchen appliances have kept this home feeling modern and luxurious. There are rooms for entertaining or relaxing, and with five bedrooms, there’s space for large or growing families.

Nestled on a double lot, it also provides ample outdoor space to enjoy in the summer or transform into a lush garden for gardening enthusiasts.

What to love

The walnut front doors lead the way into the grand foyer. The entrance space feels like an art gallery with its expansive walls to showcase artwork, an overhead chandelier and parquet-patterned hardwood flooring. Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome natural light and showcase the gardens outside.

The recessed living room features a stunning, ledgestone-clad fireplace and angled ceilings that add a sense of coziness to the room. The dining area is ideal for entertaining with garden views as the backdrop, a stylish chandelier and spotlight lighting on the walls to highlight any artwork.

A grand family room brings an elevated feel to the home with carvings along the top walls and over the entrance, built-in shelves and a soaring ceiling. And the kitchen, equipped with double ovens, commercial-grade appliances, a walk-in cooler and a gas cooktop, is a culinary dream.

A theatre room and a full home gym that even offers a shower and sauna completes the home.
Outside, the professionally landscaped gardens create a private haven. Garden pathways lead throughout, passing mature trees, stone retaining walls and a paved patio with various seating options.
