Property Description

Own a piece of Ottawa's history. Built in 1894, this beautifully restored 2-story Victorian blends timeless architectural charm with extensive modern updates-thoughtfully and lovingly completed by the current owners. This historic home features 2,398 square feet of living space with a flexible and generous layout, including a huge living room, a first-floor bedroom, and a rare first-floor powder room. The cozy dining room and family room are accented by preserved original details, including the original banister and French doors, maintained out of respect for the home's rich history. The updated kitchen seamlessly complements the home's character. Major improvements include dual HVAC systems-with newly added air conditioning on the second floor, a new hot water heater, and a full electrical upgrade from 60-amp to 200-amp service. Plumbing has been updated, the sewer line replaced, new water shut-off valves added, and incoming service upgraded. The basement features Permaseal waterproofing, a dry workspace with a built-in workbench, and updated electrical. The primary suite has undergone a total renovation, transforming a former apartment into a relaxing retreat with a soaking tub, separate shower, laundry folding counter, wine fridge, washer/dryer combo, and all-new plumbing-no expense spared. Upstairs also features two additional bedrooms and two full baths, refinished hardwood floors, updated windows, and thoughtfully upgraded lighting throughout. Additional highlights include: Third-floor attic with abundant storage, new electric, ductwork, and space supporting the dual HVAC system. Multiple balconies, including off the primary bedroom, dressing room, and living room. Entire exterior freshly painted. Beautifully landscaped-corner lot- with fire pit and shed. Huge garage-originally a stable-offering a 14' x 10' main-level storage area and a 19' x 17' loft with new flooring. Multiple washer/dryer locations (upstairs and basement). Layers of wallpaper painstakingly removed! This home is move in ready! Located just 1 mile from downtown Ottawa with its restaurants, shops, and activities, and 3 miles from I-80 for easy commuting. Be sure to explore the 3D tour to fully appreciate this exceptional home. An amazing historic property offered for sale as-is. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored Victorian while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
