12 Allan Place

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable Glebe homes! 12 Allan Place is one of the most extraordinary properties ever to be offered in Ottawa's most prestigious urban neighbourhood. Set adjacent to Central Park East, this legacy residence offers rare, uninterrupted southern exposure and direct park access - an experience that simply cannot be replicated. Homes like this are rarely available. They are treasured and held for generations and with good reason. Tucked at the quiet end of a non-through street, just 75 steps from the Rideau Canal, this location blends nature, privacy and proximity to Lansdowne and Bank Street's trendy restaurants and shops. The home itself is a masterpiece by Ottawa's most celebrated residential architect, Werner Ernst Noffke. From his own home on Clemow Avenue, Noffke envisioned this very lot as the ideal canvas for his most iconic design. In 1992, the current owners gutted the home to the studs in a sympathetic renovation that retained original character elements, including: soaring wood-framed door frames, stained glass elements, hand-carved fireplaces and beautiful moldings. Every principal room faces south, bathing the interiors in natural light and offering amazing parkland views. The layout includes 6 bedrooms, dramatic entertaining spaces, a sunlit family room, and a private wellness suite with a fitness room. The lot consists of two parcels, and the backyard enjoys a fabulous private terrace. A picturesque gate offers direct access to Central Park East with the park becoming your garden. To own 12 Allan Place is to hold a piece of Ottawa's architectural legacy - rare, timeless and truly irreplaceable.
