Nestled on a beautiful, tree-lined street in Guildwood Estates, 1885 Louisiana Ave is a warm and well-maintained family home with a private backyard retreat. The charming covered entry opens into a bright, tiled foyer that flows into the spacious front-facing living room with oversized windows and hardwood floors. Just past the dining room, the renovated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a peninsula with seating, and a full-height pantry. The adjacent family room continues the home's warm aesthetic with exposed ceiling beams, a stone-surround gas fireplace, built-in shelving, and sliding doors to the yard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts hardwood floors, multiple windows, ample closet space, and a dedicated sitting or dressing area, with direct access to the updated ensuite. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests, or a home office, each filled with natural light and consistent finishes. An updated full bathroom with a stone vanity, tile flooring, and a tub-shower combination is shared by the remaining bedrooms on this level. The fully finished lower level adds valuable living space, featuring a versatile rec room with plush carpeting, recessed lighting, and an impressive wall-to-wall built-in bookshelf. A well-sized bedroom provides privacy for guests or extended family, and includes a three-piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. A combined two-piece bathroom and laundry area, along with a dedicated storage room, enhances the home's functionality. Outside, the beautifully landscaped, private backyard, with a quaint interlock patio surrounded by mature trees and carefully curated plantings, creates a peaceful, park-like atmosphere. This lovely neighbourhood offers convenient proximity to Ottawa Hospital campuses, the uOttawa Faculty of Medicine, the Train Yards shopping district, extensive parks and schools, and easy access to the 417, Riverside Drive, and major transit routes.
