Property Description
Torn between the joys of lakeside living and the vibrance of city life? At The Claridge Icon, Ottawa’s tallest and most prestigious residential landmark, you are invited to indulge in both without compromise.
This 1,290 square foot baby penthouse is a statement of modern elegance, perched high above the city with an enviable vantage point. Sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring nine-foot ceilings immerse the residence in natural light, framing an ever-changing panorama that stretches from the rolling Gatineau Hills and fireworks over Parliament to the glittering city skyline and sparkling view of Dow’s lake. The expansive wraparound balcony, with coveted southern and eastern exposures, becomes your private front-row seat to every celebration including fireworks, drone shows, sunsets, and the city’s energy unfolding below.
Inside, every detail has been curated for refined living. Hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout the open plan, anchored by a crisp white kitchen with a striking waterfall island. The primary suite is a true retreat, easily accommodating a king bed, offering calming views of Dow’s Lake, and complete with a walk-in closet, spa-inspired ensuite, and access to its own private balcony for moments of quiet relaxation above the city. A second bedroom and full bath echo the same level of refinement. In-suite laundry and a coveted parking space add everyday convenience to this extraordinary lifestyle.
Life at The Icon extends well beyond the walls of your suite. Residents enjoy world-class amenities including 24/7 concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness and yoga studio, an indoor pool, theatre room, bike room, sauna, barbecue terrace, and beautifully curated social spaces. Host unforgettable gatherings in the elegant party rooms, complete with wet bars. When visitors come to stay, reserve one of the private guest suites, including an exclusive option with both a bedroom and a spacious living room, designed to welcome guests in comfort and style.
Step outside and discover that the location is every bit as remarkable as the residence. Preston Street in Ottawa’s Little Italy offers the perfect blend of everyday charm and elevated indulgence. By day, explore espresso cafés, artisan bakeries, specialty grocers, and trattorias where authentic recipes have been passed down through generations. In the evening, the neighbourhood transforms into a culinary destination with lively patios and nationally celebrated restaurants such as Atelier, renowned for its avant-garde tasting menus, and Perch, recognized on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list. Whether it is a casual cappuccino at a corner café or an extraordinary multi-course dining experience, Little Italy ensures every meal reflects the art of living well.
The surrounding community offers year-round experiences that elevate your lifestyle. Each May, Commissioners Park blooms during the Canadian Tulip Festival, while summer invites paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating from Dow’s Lake Marina. In winter, the Rideau Canal transforms into the world’s longest naturally frozen skating rink, offering an iconic Canadian experience right at your doorstep. Cycling the canal corridor, attending seasonal festivals, and enjoying car-free NCC Weekend Bikedays add to the unique rhythm of life here, where every season brings a new way to connect with the city.
At Suite 3907 in The Claridge Icon, you are not just purchasing a home, you are embracing a lifestyle at the pinnacle of sophistication. Here, every view is extraordinary, every amenity is world-class, and every day unfolds with the effortless elegance of a life without compromise.
