Welcome to 55 Rue du Rhône, a custom-built home carefully maintained by its original owners in Gatineau's desirable Mont Luc neighbourhood, only 15 minutes from Ottawa. The interior features warm wood floors, a beautiful cherry wood kitchen, and a fully renovated 5-piece bathroom with heated floors. Built for everyday practicality, a mudroom connects directly to the oversized 1.5-car garage.

This is a thoughtfully designed home offering exceptional comfort and quality, and all the little luxuries you need.

1) Property Description & Key Features
Custom-built and meticulously maintained by its original
owners, this home reflects a quiet luxury aesthetic
anchored in noble materials. Significant investments over
the years to ensure lasting quality, including the 2015
replacement of all window thermos and a timeless cherry
wood kitchen. The upper level features a refined, fully
renovated 5-piece bathroom complete with heated floors and
a double-sink vanity. Designed for an active lifestyle, a
practical mudroom connects the home to a 1.5-car garage
with epoxy flooring. The property's standout feature is the
exterior: a rare, custom-integrated BBQ and outdoor kitchen
with prep surfaces, cabinetery and a sink with running
water, as well as a large enclosed gazebo, and a private
spa, creating an unparalleled outdoor living experience. So
many features were incorporated into this property to
promote ease of living and a focus on relaxing at home. The
home has integrated storage and an automated irrigation
system; the garage was repainted and has access to a large
storage space; and the central vacuum has an access point
there to clean your car. Furthermore, the property will
include a 3-season shelter for the outdoor kitchen so you
can cook rain or shine. The home was also built with
high-end materials, boasting beautiful stone and brick.

2) A Day in the Life
Life in Mont Luc offers a highly central, balanced routine.
Mornings are simplified by immediate proximity to excellent
daycares, elementary schools, and highly regarded
semi-private high schools. For work or leisure, the
location is exceptional: you are under 15 minutes from
downtown Ottawa, and equally close to Chelsea, the Nordik
Spa-Nature, and the expansive trails of Gatineau Park.
Returning home is seamless--drop your bike or gym gear in
the mudroom and step right into your sanctuary. Evenings
naturally center around the backyard. Regardless of the
weather, you can grill in the sheltered outdoor kitchen,
host friends in the gazebo, and end the night unwinding in
the spa.

3) Financial Focus & Investment Value
Strategically, this custom home represents a
high-confidence acquisition. Because it has been
exclusively owned and upgraded by its original builders,
the maintenance chain is unbroken. The extensive capital
improvements already completed--from the custom outdoor
kitchen and heated-floor bathroom to the upgraded
windows--drastically minimize immediate capital
expenditures (CapEx) for the next owner. The fully finished
basement offers a low-cost way to add a fourth bedroom,
which can increase immediate appreciation and maximize the
property's future resale value in a consistently
appreciating sector.
