About the Listing 28140 - 258186

Welcome to this charming 2+bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1.5-story home ideally located on Ottawa's highly desirable east side, where character, updates, and thoughtful spaces come together beautifully. A welcoming front porch sets the tone as you step into the spacious living room, featuring hardwood floors and stunning leaded glass windows that flow seamlessly into the formal dining room-also highlighted by leaded glass details-creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining alike. The dining area opens to an updated kitchen complete with granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and ample cabinetry, blending classic charm with modern convenience. The main level also offers a comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, and a generously sized laundry room with exciting potential-whether you envision a functional mudroom or a magazine-worthy laundry space with cabinetry and folding stations. Upstairs, you'll find delightful and creative living spaces that continue the home's updated feel. A playroom off the stairs is perfectly sized for children (with lower ceiling height), while a charming loft area includes a built-in bed and safe that will remain with the home. A private upstairs bedroom features built-in dressers and a vaulted ceiling, and the second full bathroom is a true retreat with a luxurious soaking whirlpool tub with waterfall spigot and a separate stand-up shower. The basement offers excellent additional living space with a large recreation room, an extra toilet, and abundant storage. Updated electrical and plumbing provide added peace of mind. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a fully fenced backyard enclosed by a white vinyl privacy fence, offering both space and seclusion. The detached garage includes a covered porch-an ideal spot to unwind. A finished shed adds incredible versatility and was previously used as a home office, featuring electric, heated floors, vaulted ceiling with fan, wall AC unit, wall heater, and loft shelving. This east side gem offers character, flexibility, and modern updates in a sought-after location-ready to welcome its next owner.
