You will be able to walk to the Corso Italia (Preston Street) for your morning coffee, to the Parkdale Market for fresh local produce, to the Plant Bath for recreation, to the Gladstone Theatre for an evening of live theatre and to the many other local destinations that offer entertainment, shopping and dining.
Built in approximately 1942, this home has been carefully updated to combine modern living facilities with the original charm of hardwood floors, high ceilings and handsome woodwork. The front of the house is west facing, flooding the main floor with bright afternoon sunshine through the large living room window. A wide archway leads to the dining room where French doors open to a private deck and the large yard. Note that the dining room is spacious enough for big family gatherings, as you can extend your table into the living room if necessary.
The galley kitchen was renovated in 2007-2008. There is a double sink and the space has been configured to make this smallish kitchen work to maximum capacity. All of the appliances were purchased new since 2005. The gas stove was purchase in 2007. A 3 season sunroom is located off the kitchen overlooking the backyard. Plan to enjoy your morning coffee and newspaper here on summer weekends.
Upstairs there are 3 bedroom and a sparkling, newly renovated family bath. The bathroom was taken down to the studs to put in new drywall and then the room was finished with new tiles and a mosaic border. The vanity, sink, taps and cabinet over the toilet are all new. Old galvanized plumbing to the second floor was removed.
The attic space is easily accessed by a pull down ladder installed by the current owners.
The current owners had an Energy Audit done and, as a result, they have added blown-in insulation to the exterior walls (2006) and under the attic floor (2008). Their overall energy rating increased from 47 to 70%, a very high energy rating.
In 2006 and 2007 the owners began and completed work to ensure that their 60+ year old home remained watertight. Weeping tile was added and the exterior basement walls on the west and south sides were waterproofed. At the same time the front porch was rebuilt.
The lower level has also undergone a face lift in the past 2 years. The laundry room was renovated and an external vent for the dryer was installed. Reconfigured copper plumbing was added and the old laundry tubs were replaced. Finally, new windows were installed in the lower level.
Most recently the restoration of the garage was begun. Paul Denys was hired to straighten and reinforce the old garage and to rebuild the roof. The roof is shingled with lifetime warranty shingles and drip guard. New siding was installed. A new concrete floor has not been poured and will be the new owner’s task should the new owner choose to do so.
The alarm system was upgraded in 2008 and now includes wireless protection.

Large principle rooms will afford you comfortable spaces for entertaining. The grand piano-sized living room has an elegant marble surround to the wood-burning fireplace equipped with outlets to circulate the heat back into the room that is sure to add enjoyment to winter evenings. The southwest facing solarium off the kitchen, with tile floors to soak up and store up the sun’s heat, is an ideal spot to enjoy coffee and the business news in the morning or before-dinner drinks in the evening. The solarium has a baseboard heater for the coldest winter nights. There is a door directly to the patio and garden. The kitchen, with a newer Smeg wall oven and Blomberg dishwasher, is conveniently laid out with a center island containing the Jennair cooktop.

The other bathrooms are tiled as are the entrance foyer and the solarium. Many of the windows are about 5’6” tall. The ceilings are 8’. There is wiring for speakers throughout the main floor.

Riverview Park

LP $379,000

Don’t be fooled by the plain exterior; inside the renovation has turned this Plain Jane into a star! The current owners stared with a house that is a full room wider that many 1.5 storey homes and they proceeded to make the most of the light and room arrangements. By removing the walls from both sides of the entry, they have created a main floor plan that is open, bright and a great improvement to circulation of family and guests.
From the elegant and stylish tile laid in the entry foyer to the renovated three season porch overlooking the deep (145 feet) backyard you’ll find much to enjoy. Hardwood floors throughout the principle and bed rooms, a clean white and functional kitchen, the renovated main floor powder room together with the completely restyled second floor bath create a home that is ready for you to move right in. There are lots of closets, including under-eave ones, for storage and a large, high and dry unfinished basement for future development.
Within the scope of the renovation, completed over the past 2 years, you will see a refurbished kitchen, new faucets, toilets, sinks, tub, shower stall, all new door hardware, some new flooring and some new windows. The garage roof has been re-shingled and the back porch sitting room insulated for complete 3 season comfort. In addition, the appliances, refrigerator, stove and dryer, included in the sale, are all 3 months new. The dishwasher (2 years old) and the washer (in “as is” condition) are also included.
The deep lot features mature trees, both deciduous and coniferous, in the backyard and ample space for a big deck, garden or landscaping extravaganza of your choice!
Blair Street is located in a comfortable neighbourhood of mostly single family homes with large lots, built mainly in the mid to late 1950’s. Drive around the neighbourhood and you will see that the homes are well kept and that much renovation has taken place in recent years. You will be conveniently located close to Queensway access and Beechwood Village shops on the northeast and on the southwest, to the Smyth/Main Street bridge and access to Bank Street, the Glebe and Old Ottawa South. Parks, schools, CHEO and the General Hospital Campus of the Ottawa Hospital are all within walking distance as is a local convenience mall with a Shoppers Drug Mart and Tim Horton’s. The new Trainyards Shopping Centre adds more variety to the local shopping experience.
N.B. The window in the main floor office/den will be replaced prior to closing and new shingles will be installed on the back roof where the porch joins the house. This latter improvement is mainly for cosmetic reasons as there has not been any leaking at this joint since the current owners had repairs done after moving in. This summer has certainly been a test for both roof and basement security!

The mature garden is a serene oasis for relaxation or entertaining. Made private on all sides with tall hedges, the lovely garden includes mature plantings, a canopy of trees, a water feature and a large deck.

If you’re not ready for a condo, don’t want to move to “Adult Lifestyle” in the suburbs but do want to downsize to an easier lifestyle with limited household maintenance responsibilities, 3 Frederick Place is the home for which you’ve been searching.
Live on one floor or expand to use both the levels of this home; either way you can fully enjoy an easy lifestyle. The main floor is designed for very flexible use. There is a 3 piece bathroom with white tile and fixtures and a bedroom/den, plus the living room with a wide south facing bay window and gas fireplace in addition to the renovated kitchen which is open to the dining area. Should you choose main floor living, the bedroom/den is large enough to add a built-in cupboard or a handsome armoire. The present owners have maintained an existing door, disguised on one side as a bookcase, from the living room to the den/bedroom. Thus a comfortable traffic pattern is retained while offering the option of separation. The large mudroom off the bedroom hall and entered also from the side of the house, has two very large closets for added hanging and storage. The kitchen, completely renovated in 2003, has custom cabinets that extend to the ceiling. There is lots of counter space for meal preparation or buffet dinner parties. The double sink in the kitchen is strategically placed beneath 2 windows overlooking the gazebo sitting area and garden. Double doors lead from the dining area, open to cook and kitchen, out to the garden, gazebo and water feature. The current owners were very careful to design the kitchen renovation to correspond to the details of the original house as you will notice in the design of the kitchen
cupboard door fronts and the 3 doors of the large pantry just off the kitchen.
Upstairs the den and master bedroom have large east and west facing windows creating a very bright second floor. The master ensuite bath, with white fixtures, has excellent counter space. Note that there is a door to under-eave storage in the ensuite. A third room on the second floor (12’10” X10’) is currently used as a hobby room. It has a closet and under-eave storage. See L/A for plans to create a separate bedroom here.
The lower level has a large finished room for exercise, guest quarters or TV
watching plus a smaller room that could be a den or bedroom. There is plenty of basement hanging and shelf storage.
Gardens at the front of the house add to the curb appeal and a private backyard features many perennials from spring iris to autumn daisys. The gazebo provides a pleasant shaded space for hot summer days and the small water feature creates soothing ambient sound. A single car garage, small storage shed and parking for 3 extra cars are accessed off the back lane, cleared of winter snow by the city plow.

Centretown

LP $260,000

Built in approximately 1910, this solid side-hall plan home awaits a handy home renovator to create new life. Much of the “workings” work has been done so you can focus on the space and a revamped floor plan to suit life in the next decade. The room at the back on the main floor was once part of the kitchen and the two walls are built on top of the floor. Not hard to imagine a beautiful new kitchen with ample space for family gatherings, parties or children playing. The plumbing is already here for a main floor powder room.
The large “summer kitchen/ sunroom” behind the kitchen has stairs to a full basement. Add lots of windows or a big screened porch and enjoy summer in the city.
Upstairs the ample square footage of four bedrooms will allow you to reconfigure as you wish with no compromising on bathroom or closet space.
A third floor “loft” running from back to front and side to side could be a future project with the
addition of a south facing dormer.
An incomplete investigation of flooring revealed
unfinished pine under the carpet and linoleum.
