This semi-detached end-unit has been loved by the same owner for over 40 years and offers the ideal canvas for those looking to restore, renovate, or reimagine a home with strong architectural bones in an exceptional setting. Ideal for buyers with vision, this is a home that invites restoration or thoughtful renovation — bring out its full potential and create something truly special.

Inside, timeless details reflect the home’s original charm. An exposed brick wall anchors the main living space, while a classic spindle railing staircase, high baseboards, crown mouldings, and hardwood flooring add warmth and character throughout. A skylight (2022) fills the stairwell and upper landing with natural light, enhancing the home’s inviting atmosphere.

The principal rooms are generously sized, offering a comfortable and functional layout. The kitchen is well-proportioned and ready for a fresh vision, complete with a secondary staircase to the second level — a unique and flexible feature rarely found. Many are removed to provide a larger foot print to a kitchen.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom spans the full width of the home, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Original softwood floors add authenticity and charm to the upper level.

Outside, enjoy 2 car parking

All just steps to everything that makes the Glebe so special. Walk to Bank Street’s shops, cafés, and restaurants, stroll to the Canal, Lansdowne Park, and nearby green spaces, and enjoy one of Ottawa’s most vibrant and walkable communities.
