Description & details

Character, charm and an exceptional location in the heart of Sandy Hill. Quality-built and full brick, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers original character, thoughtful updates and everyday convenience, just steps from transit, downtown offices, cultural institutions, shopping, the University of Ottawa, Francojeunesse and the ByWard Market. The welcoming and spacious front porch leads to well-scaled principal rooms filled with warmth and natural light, featuring beautiful hardwood floors and original architectural details. Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace during Ottawa's winter months. The classic layout continues upstairs with 3 bedrooms and a bonus versatile loft with separate storage area, ideal as a home office, creative space or additional living area. A finished lower level provides even more room to live, work or unwind. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years, including a natural gas furnace (2020), central air conditioning (2022), many replacement windows (2022), a new back deck (2023), a new roof (2018) with foundation underpinning (2003). One of the home's most appealing features is its natural connection between indoors and out. The spacious front porch offers endless entertaining and leisure opportunities and a bonus mudroom/pantry off the kitchen leads directly to the backyard, creating a practical transition for everyday living while opening onto a special outdoor space. The large, private and fully landscaped backyard is an urban oasis, with a generous deck and patio offering wonderful spaces for morning coffee, summer dining or entertaining friends. A private laneway offers generous parking and along with a detached garage adds exceptional space, convenience and functionality. This space offers so many possibilities to expand on this exceptional property. Come see why this classic Sandy Hill home puts the best of Ottawa right outside your door.

The data only goes so far — condition, light and layout are worth seeing in person, with a home inspection, before you commit.
