In a neighbourhood where homes are held onto for decades, opportunities like this are few and far between. Tucked into one of Old Ottawa East's most desirable pockets-just steps from the Rideau Canal-this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers 1,836 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space and the lifestyle this coveted community is known for.Built in 2002 and lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home unfolds across four levels. The ground floor features an attached garage, welcoming foyer, powder room, and a versatile flex space ideal as a home office, gym, or guest room.The second level is the heart of the home, offering an open-concept living and dining area with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, a cozy gas fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and rich dark cabinetry.Upstairs, you'll find two generous bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat with a walk-in closet and two full bathrooms. The finished lower level provides even more flexible living space with a large bonus room, laundry, and plenty of storage-perfect as a family room, fitness area, or hobby space.Crowning it all is the private rooftop terrace-your own outdoor escape above the rooftops of Old Ottawa East, perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply taking in the surroundings, equipped with natural gas for BBQ.Step outside to the Rideau Canal-Ottawa's most iconic four-season playground-where scenic pathways, cycling routes, and winter skating are part of everyday life. Add Main Street's cafés and restaurants, Lansdowne, the Glebe, Elgin Street, and downtown just minutes away, and it's easy to see why this is one of the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods.A rare opportunity to put down roots in a community where neighbours know each other, the Canal shapes daily life, and homes rarely come to market.
