Stop paying someone else's mortgage. 150 Urbancrest Private is a 2013 townhome condo that makes the jump from renting to owning about as painless as Barrhaven gets: painted this year, new carpet in both bedrooms, and nothing on the to-do list but moving in. The main floor is one open, sensible space. Stainless appliances in a kitchen that opens to a dining and living area, with clean laminate and tile throughout. Off the living space is a private patio, the morning coffee spot you didn't know you needed. Downstairs, two bedrooms with brand new carpet, and each one has its own bathroom. No negotiating counter space on workday mornings, and overnight guests can have a real setup instead of a couch. The practical side is covered: in-unit laundry, natural gas heat, central A/C, and a dedicated parking spot, so winter mornings skip the street shuffle. And because this is a ground floor unit, groceries roll straight from the car to the kitchen without hiking up a mountain of stairs. The location does a lot of the selling. Five minutes on foot to Half Moon Bay Park and the Stonebridge trail system. The nearby rec centre provides a rink, pool, turf, courts, gym, and classes. Strandherd Drive's groceries and shops are minutes away, and downtown Ottawa is 30 minutes. Ground floor units here rarely come up, and when they do, they tend to sell for more than the ones upstairs. This one is priced to compete. Book a showing before another renter figures that out.
