Description

Forest Jewel - Surrounded by forest and mountains - yet in the city - this cottage-core style retreat offers privacy, natural light, and stunning views. The cathedral-style living room with wood-burning fireplace anchors the home, complemented by a formal dining room, 2 full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms + den upstairs (ideal nursery or small bedroom), and 1 bedroom in the walk-out basement leading to a 3-season gazebo and expansive decks. Well maintained with newer Ecoflow septic. Just 10 minutes from Old Aylmer, beaches, marina, schools, and Gatineau Park. Adjacent lot at 1271 Grande-Allée MLS #18016321 also available for purchase.

Imagine waking up to the soft filter of morning light through a dense canopy of oaks, pines, maples, and cedars. You step out onto your expansive deck with a coffee, listening to the gentle movement of the creek that winds through your 4,224.6 m² lot. This is "cottage-core" living in its most authentic form--a private, rustic sanctuary that feels worlds away from the hustle, yet keeps you firmly connected to the city.

The morning flows naturally into the cathedral-style living room, where the wood-burning fireplace anchors the home with its grounded charm in a warm glow. The residence offers a seamless connection to the outdoors, characterized by the rich flora and fauna of the surrounding landscape. For quiet afternoons, the walk-out basement provides a perfect transition to a 3-season gazebo, ideal for a midday break immersed in the forest's natural beauty.

This property has been meticulously maintained. Practical updates include a newer EcoFlow septic system and a paved driveway for year-round ease of access.
