23 WOODLAWN- THE GLEBE

THE GLEBE | OTTAWA

Character, Space & Location — The Glebe at Its Bes

Timeless Glebe Living | Steps to Brown’s Inlet

Tucked along a beautiful tree-lined street in one of the Glebe’s most cherished pockets, this classic three-storey residence offers an exceptional blend of charm, space, and lifestyle. Just steps to Brown’s Inlet, the Rideau Canal, and NCC parkland, the setting is both peaceful and inspiring—perfect for those who value nature, walkability, and a true sense of community, all within moments of shops, cafés, schools, and Lansdowne.

A welcoming front porch and mature gardens set the tone, introducing a home that is as handsome as it is inviting. Inside, a traditional centre-hall plan—one of the most sought-after layouts—anchors the main floor, with generously proportioned principal rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a beautiful staircase at its heart. Lots of charm remains to accent the rooms. From French doors to hard and soft wood floors this house provides the details of its past.

A versatile main floor room offers ideal flexibility as a private office, guest suite, or den, with a full bathroom conveniently located just outside. The kitchen includes a separate breakfast nook and opens to the rear yard and parking—perfect for everyday living with easy indoor-outdoor flow.

The second floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a bright, open den and family room, filled with natural light—spaces that can easily be returned to additional bedrooms if desired. A spacious primary bedroom with bay window, full bathroom, and a well-sized laundry room complete this level. A screened porch overlooking the rear lane offers a quiet retreat for summer evenings.

The third floor is full of charm, featuring two generous bedrooms with ample storage and lovely window alcoves that bring in natural light and character. Softwood floors warm the spaces .

The lower level is currently used for storage, offering future potential.

A well-maintained home in an exceptional location—this is an opportunity to enjoy the very best of Glebe living, today and for years to come.
