OLD OTTAWA SOUTH/RIDEAU GARDENS | Ottawa, ON
A Home to Grow In, A Neighbourhood to Love
Nestled on a quiet residential street in beloved Old Ottawa South, this home offers a rare blend of warmth, character, and modern comfort in one of the city’s most walkable and family-friendly enclaves.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a home with heart. A gracious front porch invites morning coffees, friendly chats with neighbours, or simply a moment of stillness surrounded by a blooming English style flower garden. This charming outdoor space sets the tone for what’s to come—thoughtful living both inside and out.
The home’s private laneway leads to the rear garden and a secondary entrance, providing a practical transition into the family room and finished basement—a feature that adds flexibility for modern families, remote workers, or independent teens.
One inside you will be greeted by sunny rooms and hardwood floors that celebrate the home's original charm. The main floor boasts a flowing layout anchored by a traditional living and dining area. French doors lead gracefully to the expansive rear “great room”.
A bold, oversized barn door offers both function and flair, doubling as a statement wall and privacy divider when needed. It’s a room that effortlessly adapts to any mood—movie nights, quiet enjoyment or lively gatherings.
The renovated kitchen balances classic appeal of white cabinets with modern efficiency. It offers ample cupboard and counter space, quality appliances, and a layout that invites connection.
Upstairs, the second level continues the home’s theme of generous light and comfort. The principal bedroom stretches across the full width of the house and offers a serene south-facing picture window, a full wall of closet space, and a private ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a refreshed full bathroom, making this an ideal layout for families or guests.
The finished lower level offers even more versatility—ideal as a media room, home office, gym, or private teen suite. Complete with a full bathroom, it adds real function and flexibility to the home.
And then there's the garden.
A private sanctuary unfolds in the rear yard, anchored by a large dining deck ideal for summer evenings under the stars. Mature plantings create a lush backdrop that evolves with the seasons, while a grapevine-covered arbour ais a peaceful reading nook beside a gentle waterfall—a perfect place to unplug and unwind.
