78 Songbird Private, Ottawa, ON

Some homes make you choose. You can have a shorter commute, but an older home. You can have something newer, but suddenly you're living farther outside the city than you planned. Well, it's time to meet your Goldie Locks; 78 Songbird Private is just right. Tucked away on a quiet enclave next to NCC land in Bells Corners, this freehold townhome offers the west-end lifestyle you're searching for, without feeling like a compromise. Built in 2008, this end-unit 3-storey home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an attached garage, and a private yard that enjoys no direct rear neighbours. The ground floor features a bright flex space that works equally well as a home office, gym, or second living area, with direct access to the backyard. Upstairs, natural light fills the open-concept living and dining room, complete with updated hardwood floors and south-facing exposure for maximum year-round daylight. The separate kitchen is tasteful and functional with plenty of cabinet space and room for an eat-in table, while the balcony provides the perfect spot to BBQ in the summer. The top floor offers two generous bedrooms each with double closets and dedicated bathrooms that have been renovated in recent years. The full-height basement offers a dedicated laundry area plus plenty of storage. Many key updates including updated flooring, baseboards and trim, paint, backyard patio and shed, newer roof shingles, AC, hot water tank (owned, not rented) and recently replaced window panes give you turn-key peace of mind. Here, you'll appreciate quick access to HWY 416/417, Greenbelt trails and convenient everyday amenities, with some buyers specifically appreciating the proximity to DND Carling Campus, and being within walking distance of the Jami Omar Mosque.
