This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Ottawa's most exclusive addresses - a true Waterfront residence in Rockcliffe Park, situated directly on the shores of McKay Lake. Set high on a 21,156-square-foot lot, the residence enjoys spectacular views across the lake. The property remains within walking distance to top schools, the Ottawa River, the Rockcliffe Lawn Tennis Club and wonderful restaurants and shops. This rare combination of natural beauty and urban proximity offers a lifestyle without compromise. From the street, it has a warm, Mediterranean charm.

Tiered decks are thoughtfully integrated throughout, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main level features a spacious great room with a fireplace and direct access to an elevated deck overlooking the lake. A formal dining room is set apart and the granite kitchen includes a breakfast area with water views.

Two additional bedrooms - each space filled with light and lake views - share a family bathroom. The walkout lower level is designed for relaxed living and entertaining, with a large family room, fireplace and French doors to another lake-facing balcony. From here, a gently sloping path leads to a private dock - ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the serenity of the lake. This is a rare and refined residence offering the best of Rockcliffe Park - unmatched privacy, direct waterfront living, a picturesque setting and the best Rockcliffe Park has to offer.
