Updated 2-bedroom bungalow with hardwood floors, renovated bathrooms, a finished basement, and an incredible backyard retreat in Kanata’s established Glen Cairn neighbourhood. Welcome to 120 Abbeyhill Drive, a thoughtfully updated home that combines functional living space, modern finishes, and an outdoor setup that feels more like a private retreat than a typical suburban backyard.
Set on a quiet residential street in Glen Cairn, the home offers quick access to parks, schools, transit routes along Castlefrank Road, and everyday amenities throughout Kanata. The area is known for its mature trees, established streetscapes, family-friendly atmosphere, and convenient access to both recreation and shopping.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal stands out. Stone detailing along the lower exterior, vinyl siding, front gardens, and a composite front deck give the property a polished but welcoming feel. Inside, the bright open-concept main floor has been updated to balance warmth and practicality. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living area, while the electric fireplace creates a comfortable focal point for the space.
The renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday use and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, pantry storage on both sides of the kitchen, and a large island with excellent prep and seating space. Large windows overlooking the backyard make the entire space feel bright, airy, and connected to the outdoors.
Down the hallway, the fully remodelled bathroom brings a more modern feel to the home with tile extending up the walls, a sleek step-in shower with bench seating, and plenty of built-in storage. Originally configured as a 3-bedroom home, two bedrooms have been combined into one oversized primary suite, creating an especially spacious layout with mirrored closet space and views toward the backyard. The second bedroom remains ideal for guests, family, or a home office.
The finished lower level significantly expands the living space and flexibility of the home. Engineered hardwood flooring, a gas fireplace, a large craft or workbench area, and multiple bonus rooms create endless options for hobbies, games, music, storage, or quiet retreat spaces. One particularly unique room has been designed as a “zen” room with another fireplace and faux windows with lighting behind them, creating a cozy atmosphere unlike anything typical for the area. A second full bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry space, and extensive unfinished storage complete the lower level.
The backyard is the true centrepiece of the property. Fully fenced with newer PVC fencing, the space has been designed to maximize both entertaining and relaxation. A large wood deck, interlock patio area, mature gardens, grassy space, and peaceful creek with bridge create an incredibly tranquil setting. The charming red shed adds farmhouse-inspired character and practical garden storage, while the second detached structure, known as “the cabin,” includes electricity, windows, and an electric fireplace. Whether used as a games room, seasonal entertaining space, hobby area, or quiet escape, it adds an entirely unique dimension to the property.
Homes with this level of outdoor space, flexibility, and character rarely come available in Glen Cairn, especially with this combination of thoughtful interior updates and backyard amenities.
