4-bedroom house with self-contained granny-annexe, set in half-acre, 150 mtrs from the sea, panoramic countryside views and situated at the end of a half-mile private road.
A nice place to live? Yes, I wouldn't change a thing.

Yes, how terribly sad they are with their giant mansions, garages full of top of the line motors and stripper poles in their massive bedrooms where they have non-stop orgies with flexible young backing dancers. I pity them.
As someone of the British persuasion, I think everyone should be as small, unambitious and miserable as me.
I used to live smack on the beach. You went out the door and there it was. Miss being able to do that.
I would love to live Downtown Ottawa along the canal in one of those heritage homes. Having a beer on a deck watching other people get fit and in the winter sit and watch people skate down the longest skating rink in the world. A walk away from downtown but quite enough because it is just off the major roads.
Alas the homes are close to or over a million.
People need to be more specific about place names. Most people want a mansion with a sex dungeon, you've got to tell me where you would like it to be. 
Ooh, that sounds fun, Curt! I like riverside/canalside houses, with really long gardens that finish at the water. Yum.

Next to the dole office, so I could pop next door to sign on.*

Yea exactly. The 'National Capital Commission' keeps that area pristine with new flowers and in May it's Tulip gardens covering the entire canal and bicycle path.
And the winter:
Ooooooooooooh!
Wintery goodness!
Reminds me of Charlie Brown for some reason...

We have lots of pretty canals here, I love it. It feels all lovely and British, walking along them on a warm summers day.

Are any of your locks still manually operated still? I think the majority of Ottawa's are done by hand still.
That's the one nearest the the Parliament:
I'd love to live in a small village in the Derbyshire countryside called Edale, pretty much a hamlet but a beautiful bit of countryside.
