Property Description

Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 1.1-bathroom 1.5-story home situated on two lots in Ottawa's desirable east side! Brimming with character, thoughtful updates, and inviting living spaces, this home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and everyday comfort. Exceptional curb appeal and a spacious L-shaped covered front porch immediately welcome you home. Overlooking a peaceful wooded setting across the street, this inviting outdoor space is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or simply take in the tranquil surroundings. Step inside the welcoming foyer where a beautiful original staircase sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout the home. The cozy living room features a stunning natural wood ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining family and friends and is conveniently located next to a recently updated half bathroom and main-floor laundry closet. The spacious kitchen offers an eat-in breakfast bar, pantry closet, and plenty of room for meal preparation. Just beyond the kitchen is a comfortable den that provides endless flexibility as a home office, children's playroom, family room, or hobby space. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a generous primary suite featuring an oversized 9x6 walk-in closet and a second 8x7 walk-in closet that is currently utilized as a home office. The second bedroom also features a walk-in closet and there's a spacious second level full bathroom. The unfinished basement provides abundant storage space and an excellent workshop area. Outside, a covered walkway conveniently connects the home to the detached 2.5-car garage, built in 2018, with easy alley access. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof and seamless gutters installed in April 2026 and a new American Standard furnace and central air conditioning system installed in January 2021. With two spacious lots, charming architectural details, modern mechanical updates, versatile living spaces, and a peaceful location across from beautiful woods, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home that offers space, character, and convenience all in one.
