Set on a quiet street within walking distance of Dow's Lake, Little Italy, Chinatown and Centretown, this cozy detached home offers the low-maintenance lifestyle you've been looking for with no attached neighbours! Walk to your favourite coffee shop along Preston or Somerset, meet friends for dinner, or simply enjoy having some of Ottawa's most vibrant communities right outside your door. The home welcomes you with a mature front garden with flowering perennials, an elevated front porch that's perfect for your morning coffee and features a vintage iron railing, and the convenience of a private driveway with parking for two cars. Inside, the layout is surprisingly versatile. The main floor offers a combined living and dining area along with a spacious eat-in kitchen with room for a proper table; the kind of gathering space you'd expect in Little Italy, whether you're hosting friends for pizza night or simply enjoying a slow Sunday morning. A separate family room adds valuable living space and can easily double as a guest room, with direct access to the private side yard. Upstairs, a dedicated office makes working from home easy, while two comfortable bedrooms provide just the right amount of space for first-time buyers, young professionals, or anyone looking for a home that can adapt as life changes. Outside, the low-maintenance and fully fenced yard is designed for enjoying rather than maintaining, with raised garden beds, space for outdoor dining, and secure storage for bikes after a ride along nearby pathways. With charming curb appeal, flexible living spaces and one of Ottawa's most walkable neighbourhoods at your doorstep, this is the kind of home that lets you spend less time commuting and more time enjoying everything the city has to offer.
