Welcome to this charming detached home in Old Ottawa East, perfectly situated between the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal. Offering over 1,600 sq ft above grade plus a fully finished basement with a separate side entrance, this property is ideal for families or investors. The bright main level flows seamlessly for everyday living, opening onto a large entertainment deck through patio doors from the kitchen and dining room. Upstairs, enjoy a second spacious deck over the garage-perfect for morning coffee or sunset views. The top floor hosts three generous bedrooms, a large bathroom, and convenient second-floor laundry. Both first and second floor boast original hardwood and new luxury laminate in kitchen & bath. The fully finished basement features new laminate floors, a large rec room, full bath, and a second laundry room with a kitchenette. Previously operated successfully as an Airbnb, it offers excellent rental or in-law suite potential, with it's own side patio and side entrance. Additional highlights include an attached garage with inside entry (a rarity in this central location), extra front parking, and life-warranted triple-glazed windows. Notably, this is one of the few homes in the city with a durable slate roof, known for lasting over a century with minimal maintenance. Located in a walkable, established neighborhood, you'll have easy access to parks, waterfront trails, schools, shops, dining, and downtown transit. The seller will install a new furnace and AC before closing or negotiate a credit if you prefer a heat pump to leverage current Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program rebates (up to $7,500 for air-source). Great development opportunity with the new N4B zoning, allowing up to 4 stories and no maximum unit cap. The N4 zone allows a wide variety of high-density housing, including mid-rise apartment buildings, multiplexes, stacked townhouses, and mixed-use spaces. Don't miss out-schedule your viewing today!
