Historic Architectural Charm.

“Located on the corner of Mackay and Thomas in the heart of New Edinburgh, this heritage property was built in the 1860s by James Allen. Once a grand single-family home, it has now been thoughtfully reimagined by Eastboro Designs as two fully redesigned luxury residences, blending historic architectural charm with refined modern living.

With its British classical symmetry, transom windows, and sidelights, the home is a true testament to 19th-century craftsmanship - further enhanced by the stately porches added in the 1920s by architect Alan Keefer.

Inside, each residence features soaring vaulted ceilings, original fireplaces, and new custom windows that retain the elegance of the original framing. Every detail has been carefully curated to honour the past while offering elevated, contemporary comfort.

35 Mackay offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. 71 Thomas offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, featuring a top floor primary retreat. Both residences offer private exterior spaces and parking.

Perfectly situated, across from Rideau Hall, the Governor General’s grounds, moments to downtown, steps to Union Street Café and Tavern on the Falls, shops and restaurants on Beechwood, and scenic walking trails in Stanley park and along the Ottawa River

The Allen Residences aren’t just a place to live - they’re a legacy reborn.
