Property Description
Beautiful 1911 Victorian residence at 1400 Ch. Queen's Park in historic Old Aylmer. Recognized in Gatineau's municipal heritage inventory, this elegant home embodies the area's rich legacy as a riverside summer retreat. Spanning 4,732 sq ft on a private 2.17-acre lot with 202 linear feet of Ottawa River waterfront, it has never flooded thanks to its elevation, even during the 2017 and 2019 floods. Offers 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, wrap-around covered porch, beautiful private second-floor balcony, hardwood, pine and marble floors, wood stove and fireplace. A rare opportunity to own a well-maintained character steeped in Aylmer's storied past.
Set on the banks of the Ottawa River in the prestigious Queen's Park neighbourhood of historic Aylmer, this distinguished 1911 Victorian-style summer villa stands as a rare and tangible survivor of the region's celebrated resort era. As highlighted in the City of Gatineau's 2025 Aylmer Built Heritage Inventory, the property is recognized as an elegant summer villa that represents the period when Aylmer served as a retreat for Ottawa and Hull residents who travelled there by streetcar to enjoy summers by the water.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Aylmer was a favoured destination for affluent Ottawa and Hull families seeking respite from city heat. They arrived by streetcar and earlier steamboat services to enjoy the Ottawa River waterfront, leisure activities at Queen's Park, and the area's vibrant social scene. This superb residence beautifully embodies that storied legacy.
Offering approximately 4,732 square feet of living space, the home features eight bedrooms and three bathrooms on a generous and private 2.17-acre lot with 202.13 linear feet of direct waterfront. Its elevated position has ensured the property remained entirely flood-free, even during the significant 2017 and 2019 events. A new roof was installed in 2024, and the residence has been thoughtfully and consistently maintained throughout its history.
Architectural highlights include classic Victorian detailing, hardwood, pine, and marble flooring throughout, a wood stove, and a fireplace. The exterior is graced by a charming wrap-around covered porch along the side and rear -- ideal for enjoying river breezes and outdoor living -- as well as a beautiful private balcony on the second floor. An in-ground pool offers excellent potential for restoration, allowing the next owner to create a personalized outdoor oasis.
Ideally located just minutes from the Aylmer Marina for boating, kayaking, and waterfront recreation, the property is also a short drive from the vibrant historic district of Vieux-Aylmer, known for its charming cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural attractions along rue Principale. Downtown Ottawa is approximately 25 minutes away by car, providing convenient access to urban amenities while enjoying a peaceful, low-density riverside setting.
This exceptional estate will particularly appeal to buyers who value historic architecture, character properties, and the opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Aylmer's rich heritage. With its generous proportions, waterfront presence, and timeless presence, 1400 Chemin Queen's Park represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark residence in one of the Outaouais' most storied waterfront enclaves.
