12 Allan Pl, Ottawa, K1S 3T1

Home Overview

Description

A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity to Own the Glebe's Crown Jewel! There are homes in the Glebe and then there are landmarks. 12 Allan Place is one of the most EXTRAORDINARY properties ever offered in Ottawa's most prestigious urban neighbourhood. Set beside the protected greenspace of 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, Bank Street and the city's finest cultural offerings. 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. That vision came to life in 1913. Blending Spanish Colonial Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Prairie School styles, the architecture is both graceful and enduring. While expanded for modern living, the original character remains: soaring wood-framed doors, stained glass, hand-carved fireplaces and Noffke's signature balance of proportion and flow. Every principal room faces south, bathing the interiors in natural light and lush green views. The layout includes 6 bedrooms, dramatic entertaining spaces, a sunlit family room and breakfast area and a private wellness area with fitness room. The lot consists of two parcels, with an expansive terrace adjoining the main house. The private gate to Central Park East speaks to its unique relationship with the land. The park becomes your garden. To own 12 Allan Place is to hold a piece of Ottawa's architectural legacy - rare, timeless and truly irreplaceable.
