A Centretown Classic!
An outstanding red brick beauty with distinctive elevation, diligently maintained and upgraded.
This grand 3 Storey semi-detached property is a prime example of Centretown architecture offering versatility and quality. Tremendous pride of ownership and diligent maintenance are apparent as soon as you walk into the century home. Over 2,800 sq.ft of living space featuring classical appointments such as high ceilings, beautiful trim, intricate millwork, refinished and new hardwood flooring throughout, and stained glass transom windows.
This home could become a legal duplex with two large apartments with the re-installation of two firewalls, two fire rated doors, and other small modifications in the basement (to be verified).
Situated in the heart of Ottawa minutes away from Parliament Hill. Enjoy access to green space and nature with Ottawa River Parkway Paths and Rideau Canal in close proximity. Just a 5 minute walk to Lyon LRT.
