This home in old Ottawa South is truly unique! We arrived from New York City 20 years ago and immediately recognized the character of the community! Walk to shop for groceries, antiques, milk, go to the library, attend church, go to the pub, eat out, or simply stroll! Where else, in the heart of the city, can you walk along the banks of the river in winter and encounter a fox family, and in the Spring, see great blue heron, egret, all sorts of duck and water birds, and water mammals and rabbits. The home was built in 1913, and its location provides for a high and dry location with easy spring runoff. The house itself is homey and comfy! Ideal for parties and entertaining, for raising kids, or for just hanging out. Great neighbours who care about their community. A thriving perennial garden back and front. High dry basement. Great newly rebuilt garage. Very safe with no egress out the back. Good sized kitchen, dining room and living room and family room on ground floor with bathroom. Second floor has three bedrooms and bathroom. Third floor could be developed for master suite. |
