26 Whippoorwill Drive in Ottawa: 2101 - Rothwell Heights House for sale

Across the street from Birdland Park, this raised bungalow in Rothwell Heights solves a problem most floor plans don’t: how to have single-level living and a real second space to entertain, host, or grow into.

Upstairs is where you live, day to day. A bright, oversized living room overlooks the front of the home. The renovated kitchen is a chef's dream — with granite counters, a spectacular centre island, and sleek appliances — opens onto an expansive deck and patio through a walk-out patio door. The primary suite includes a renovated ensuite and walk-in closet. Two more large bedrooms and a fully renovated main bath complete this floor, finished throughout in rich hardwood and neutral tile.

Downstairs is where you gather. Because this is a raised bungalow, large windows bring in real daylight — not the dim, low-ceiling feel most basements have. A spacious family room with a gas fireplace and wet bar anchors the space, with an adjoining room set up for a home gym or movie nights. A fourth bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry round out the level — ideal for guests, adult children, or aging parents who need their own space (the lower level bathroom is wheelchair friendly).

For anyone downsizing from a larger home, this layout means less to maintain without less to offer: your everyday life stays simple upstairs, while the lower level still gives you room to host and gather. For move-up families, it means more space, a park across the street, and a home that grows with you instead of needing to be outgrown again.

A circular driveway means never backing out into traffic. A deep double garage and beautifully landscaped 0.441-acre lot complete the picture.

26 Whippoorwill doesn’t ask you to choose between simple and spacious. It gives you both.
