This cozy single home welcomes you with a mature front garden, an elevated front porch, and the convenience of a private driveway with parking for two cars. Inside, the layout is surprisingly versatile. The main floor offers a combined living and dining area along with a spacious eat-in kitchen with room for a proper table; the kind of gathering space you'd expect in Little Italy, whether you're hosting friends for dinner or want space to cook & create. A separate main floor family room adds valuable living space and has direct access to a private fenced yard. This space can also easily double as a guest room when needed. Upstairs, a dedicated office makes working from home easy, while two comfortable bedrooms provide just the right amount of space for first-time buyers, young professionals, or anyone looking for a home that can adapt as life changes. The laundry room is in the basement where you will also find lots of storage and a basic three piece bath. Outside, the low-maintenance yard is designed for enjoying rather than maintaining, with raised garden beds, space for outdoor dining, and secure storage for bikes & gear. Set on a quiet street within walking distance of Dow's Lake, Little Italy, and Centretown, this is the low-maintenance lifestyle you've been looking for with no attached neighbours! Walk to your favourite coffee shop along Preston or Somerset, meet friends for dinner nearby or simply enjoy having some of Ottawa's most vibrant communities right outside your door.
