- S. EVELYN CIMESA

Situated alongside some of the most beautiful historic buildings in Old Ottawa East is EQ Homes’ Greystone Village. The 10.5-hectare site between Main Street and the Rideau River was the home of the Oblate Brothers for more than 155 years. EQ is introducin­g a new condominiu­m building overlookin­g the Rideau River, featuring lush parks and a central plaza. For those looking for a central location where they can be immersed in nature, the River Terraces at Greystone Village will fit the bill.

The Greystone Village community is within walking distance of shops, public transporta­tion and parks. Sandy Hill, Ottawa South, the Glebe and Centretown are only a short bike ride away. The Canadian Museum of Nature and By Ward Market are close by, and homeowners can stroll by the Rideau River or the Rideau Canal. This peaceful developmen­t provides sanctuary from a busy world while being close to downtown.

EQ Homes’ River Terraces is a nine-storey condominiu­m building that takes after its natural surroundin­gs. Homeowners can enjoy lovely landscapin­g, a multitude of amenities and expansive terraces with fabulous views. Pedestrian­s and cyclists can take advantage of the many pathways surroundin­g the property, including the Rideau River Nature Trail, which runs alongside nearby parks and recreation facilities.

The building ’s amenities feature a car and bike wash, kayak and bicycle storage, a pet spa, a state-ofthe-art fitness centre and a guest suite for out-of-town company. Homeowners will have full access to the condominiu­m’s spaces, such as the private dining room with chef’s kitchen and oversized dining table, the Terraces Lounge with wet bar, and outdoor terraces overlookin­g the Greystone community. In the evenings, homeowners can slip outside onto the lovely landscaped terraces for a peek at the stars.

On June 3, EQ Homes will host the grand opening of their model suite for The River Terraces at the Greystone Village Presentati­on Centre at 175A Main St. Attendees will have an opportunit­y to explore custom designs and finishes, browse through updated suite layouts with new kitchen and bathroom designs, and envision themselves living at this riverside address.

Prospectiv­e homebuyers can explore and discover all the fine details and customizab­le designer finishes first-hand. The model suite highlights a beautiful, bright and spacious living room with engineered hardwood floors throughout; a designer kitchen with quartz countertop­s; fine cabinetry; state-of-the-art appliances and Moen fixtures. It also features a designer vanity, large tiles and a walk-in shower with a bench.

eQ’s Smarthome technology, which is built into every suite, will also be demonstrat­ed. It enables owners to control their home’s climate and lighting from an app on their smartphone­s.

The suites at River Terraces add a natural touch to modern living, with clean lines, sleek finishes and contempora­ry ambience. When you enter the condo, you won’t be inside your kitchen — you’ll be in a small hallway with a coat closet, a space dedicated to making your mornings easier. Continue inside and discover large bedrooms, spainspire­d bathrooms, plenty of kitchen cabinetry and nine- to 10foot ceilings throughout. Venture outdoors onto an expansive terrace that overlooks the Greystone Village community.

River Terraces overlooks the Rideau River, is within walking distance of many amenities and it’s minutes from downtown. With many suites to choose from, it’s an opportunit­y to explore modern condominiu­m living at this lovely building in Old Ottawa East.
