What makes this property unique: This property consists of two luxury loft units (upper and lower), beautifully laid out in what was originally a glass factory built in 1956
You may not associate glass doors and large windows with the concept of privacy, but this breathtaking three-bedroom, four-bathroom property in downtown Ottawa is the perfect combination of ultra-modern luxury and modest subtlety, with an exterior facade that could easily pass for an office.
The building that now hosts the dual-unit property was originally a glass factory. Listed at $2.6-million, it’s made up of two unique lofts with a shared entrance to the building and separate unit access from inside – each with its own kitchen, sleeping accommodations and living space. While the inside boasts giant skylights and frosted glass walls, the discreet exterior of the building gives nothing away, creating a supremely private space for those inside.
“There is nothing ordinary about this place. Everyone gasps the first time they walk in,” says listing broker, Leo Grant of Royal LePage Team Realty in Ottawa. “The property is perfect for a buyer looking for a unique investment opportunity, or even a small business owner who can live in one unit and use the other as an upscale home office space. Either way, this level of style and extravagance in downtown Ottawa does not come around often. If you’re looking for a larger-than-life urban property… look no further.”
