I have listed a new property at 35 Perthmore Street in Perth. See details here

Perth has a way of staying with you. The slower pace, the limestone architecture, the sense that a good life is still lived at a human scale. Perthmore was built with that understanding, and it shows in this lovely 2017 townhome. Inside, the main floor is designed for effortless single-floor living. The primary bedroom and its ensuite are steps from the kitchen, the laundry is on the same level, and the hardwood floors and tile run throughout without a threshold in sight. Large windows with custom blinds pull in natural light across the open floor plan. The kitchen anchors the space with quartz countertops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The screened Sunspace porch extends your living season without requiring a jacket. Downstairs, a finished lower level adds meaningful flexibility: a second bedroom with walk-in closet and a full bath make it a proper guest suite, a home office with privacy, or a comfortable space for family when they visit. Step out from the lower level onto the sunken patio, where privacy fencing creates a sheltered outdoor room. Beyond it, manicured garden beds carry colour and texture through the seasons, ready to enjoy without demanding your weekend. Past the property line, a nature park and pond is planned that will permanently protect that green horizon. Outside, the brick and vinyl exterior asks little of you, while the attached garage and double-wide driveway handle the practical realities comfortably. Perthmore townhomes surface infrequently - this corner of Perth has earned its reputation quietly, through people who chose it and stayed. Book your showing today to come walk through your new home!

What if you could skip the years of upgrades and move straight into the finished product? This Riverside South townhome is what happens when owners pour $50,000 into a home that was already built with premium finishes. Quartz countertops, hardwood flooring throughout, premium fixtures from day one. Then came the custom fireplace and mantle, the professionally installed interlock brick in both yards, a composite deck, and a spacious gazebo out back. Tall ceilings on all three floors give every room a sense of space that most townhomes simply cannot deliver. The kitchen was designed for people who actually cook, with a natural gas range and a walk-in pantry deep enough to hold a full week of groceries without a second trip. Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms keep the household running, and the lower level includes a rough-in for a future bath, ready to become a bedroom suite for a parent, a teenager, or whoever needs their own space next. The primary suite earns its name. A full wall of windows fills the room with natural light; A soaker tub and spacious walk-in shower make the end of the day feel earned and the closet runs five rails deep, with more than enough room for two wardrobes. Outside, a fully fenced backyard and that gazebo turn Saturday mornings into something worth protecting. A monitored security system and attached garage round out the amenities. Walk your kids down the street to new schools with excellent amenities. Trails and parks thread through the neighbourhood. Launch a canoe or kayak on the Rideau River 2 km away. Drive ten minutes down country roads to the charm of Manotick village, or just 20 km into the heart of Ottawa. This is a family community with real roots and easy access to everything. A 2018-built middle unit finished to this standard is not something you wait for. It is something you act on. Book your showing today.

What if you and your parents could share a waterfront address without tripping over each other? This rare Clayton Lake property offers something almost never found on the water, two fully functional living units under one roof, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, furnace, and electrical panel, allowing true independence rather than compromise. Imagine family just one floor away, close enough for Sunday dinners while still enjoying separate routines, private space, and everyday privacy. The walk-out lower level features two bedrooms, an office, and a three-season sunroom where lake views become part of daily life, while radiant in-floor heating keeps winter mornings cozy. Upstairs, the second unit expands to four bedrooms, a four-season sunroom designed for year-round enjoyment, and a private balcony that invites you to watch the sunset reflect across the water. Outside, Clayton Lake delivers the quiet rural lifestyle many buyers are searching for, with a clean shoreline, minimal weeds, and your own dock and boat launch ready for canoe adventures, fishing afternoons, and teaching grandchildren to swim, while winter brings access to nearby snowmobile trails. This is a family compound built for decades of shared memories, offering the opportunity to help children step into home ownership, keep parents close with peace of mind while preserving their independence, or live in one unit while rental income from the other helps carry the mortgage. Waterfront properties with two complete living spaces like this appear once in a decade, and the families who find them tend to hold on for generations. Your family's lake house is waiting, book your private showing before another family claims it.
