Property Description

Now Offered at $399,000 - Under $400K in Ottawa! Own a remarkable piece of Ottawa's history. Built in 1894, this beautifully restored two-story Victorian blends timeless architectural charm with extensive modern updates thoughtfully completed by the current owners. Offering 2,398 square feet of living space, the home features a flexible layout including a spacious living room, first-floor bedroom, and a rare first-floor powder room. The dining and family rooms showcase preserved original details such as the historic banister and French doors, honoring the character of the home while providing everyday comfort. The updated kitchen complements the architectural style seamlessly. Major system improvements provide peace of mind, including dual HVAC systems with newly added second-floor air conditioning, a full electrical upgrade from 60-amp to 200-amp service, updated plumbing, sewer line replacement, new water shut-off valves, upgraded incoming service, and a new hot water heater. The basement includes Permaseal waterproofing, updated electrical, and a functional workspace with built-in bench. The primary suite was fully reimagined from a former apartment into a private retreat featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, laundry folding counter, wine fridge, washer and dryer combo, and all-new plumbing. Upstairs includes two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, updated windows, and upgraded lighting throughout. Additional highlights include a third-floor attic with new electrical and ductwork supporting the dual HVAC system, multiple balconies off the primary bedroom, dressing room, and living room, freshly painted exterior, and a beautifully landscaped corner lot with fire pit and shed. The oversized garage, originally a stable, offers a 14 x 10 main-level storage area and a 19 x 17 loft with new flooring. Multiple washer and dryer locations are available on both the upper level and basement. Located approximately one mile from downtown Ottawa and three miles from I-80, this move-in ready historic home combines character, updates, and value in a price point that is rarely available under $400,000. Property is being sold as-is. 3D tour available.
