Welcome to 425 Echo Drive, a rare opportunity to live along one of Ottawa's most iconic and sought-after streets, directly across from the Rideau Canal and steps from the Flora Footbridge. This two-storey townhome offers a well-designed, flexible layout with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a beautifully renovated kitchen and bathrooms. As you enter, you're welcomed into the main living and dining area. Just off the entry, a separate family room offers flexibility, ideal as a home office or potential third bedroom. This space also provides access to a private, courtyard-style deck, creating a quiet outdoor retreat. Toward the back, the kitchen connects to a versatile dining space, currently used as a home office but easily converted to a breakfast area. A built-in coffee bar adds both function and character. From here, you also have access to the same courtyard-style outdoor space, offering multiple entry points and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. At the rear, the kitchen leads directly to the carport, making everyday tasks like bringing in groceries simple and convenient. The carport currently accommodates one vehicle, with potential to expand. Natural light fills the home through two skylights, including one that extends from the second level into the main living space, adding volume and architectural interest. The living areas are positioned to take full advantage of unobstructed canal views, creating a unique connection to the outdoors year-round. The location truly stands out. You're within walking distance to the downtown core, Lansdowne, Elgin Street and ByWard Market, with easy access to cafés, restaurants, shops, and everyday amenities. Outdoor living is just as strong, with immediate access to scenic paths, kayaking in the summer, and skating in the winter on the canal. A rare combination of space, flexibility, and one of the best locations the city has to offer. (id:2493)
