Tucked into one of the most picturesque pockets along the Rideau Canal, 17 Kenney Rd offers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate. Known as the former Lockmaster's house, this charming bungalow blends history, privacy, and everyday comfort in a setting that feels straight out of a postcard. Set on a generous 111x100 ft lot, the property is surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty in every direction. Morning coffee comes with birdsong and sunlight through the trees, while evenings bring quiet skies, star-filled nights, and the distant call of coyotes. Deer, wild turkeys, foxes, porcupines, and owls are all regular visitors here. It's peaceful, private, and feels like a true escape from the pace of the city. Just steps from your front door, Hotel Kenney offers the Lakeview Restaurant, fresh baked goods, burgers, and ice cream. The entrance to the trails leading to Jones Falls Locks is less than 50m away, giving you instant access to one of the most scenic stretches of the canal system. For summer days, Sand Lake is just a short drive with a beach, trails, picnic areas, and space to unwind. Everyday essentials are close by in Elgin, under 10km away. The home itself has seen meaningful updates, including a new septic system (2023), new washer and dryer (2025), new fridge (2025), water softener and UV treatment system (2025), and a new 20G well pressure tank (2025). An exterior BBQ hookup makes summer hosting easy, while the walkout basement with dual access doors adds flexibility for storage and hobbies. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history in a setting that truly delivers on lifestyle. (id:25961)
