415 Greenview Avenue, Unit 1007: a 3 bedroom plus den corner suite at The Britannia, in Ottawa's Britannia neighbourhood, with over 1,200 square feet of living space, two full bathrooms, and two separate balconies off the corner exposure.
Pull the listings for this building right now and almost every one of them is the same unit: two bedrooms, one bathroom, somewhere between 825 and 900 square feet. This one isn't that unit. At over 1,200 square feet with three actual bedrooms, a separate den, and two full bathrooms, one of them a private ensuite, it's built more like a bungalow that happens to be on the tenth floor than a typical apartment layout. The second bedroom has a Murphy bed built in, so it moves between guest room, office, or full bedroom without giving up floor space the rest of the time.
The kitchen and both bathrooms have been fully renovated, with laminate and tile throughout and no carpet anywhere in the unit. The den, tucked off the main living space, is large enough to work as genuine home office space rather than an afterthought nook. Two balconies come off the corner exposure, one catching morning light, the other set up for the end of the day, which is a detail most of the smaller units in the building simply don't have room for.
The Britannia was built in 1976 and has stayed self-managed since, which shows up in the range of amenities packed in: an indoor saltwater pool, a squash court, a full woodworking shop, an arts and crafts room, a library, a party room, billiards and games rooms, and three guest suites for when people come to stay. Condo fees cover heat, hydro, and water. One underground parking space is included, and the building allows pets.
The location does a lot of the work here. The building sits at the corner of Carling Avenue and the Kichi Zibi Mikan Parkway (formerly the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway), on the stretch of road that runs out to Britannia Beach. Britannia Park, Ron Kolbus Park, and the Ottawa River pathway system are all a short walk, along with Farm Boy and the Lincoln Fields shops. The 417 is close by for anyone driving downtown or west, and the Lincoln Fields LRT station, currently being rebuilt as a major hub for the Confederation Line West extension, is a short walk from the front door, though it's still under construction and not yet in service.
