Timeless charm in an unbeatable Old Ottawa East location, this delightful home is one you won't want to miss. Set on quiet Merritt Avenue, in a coveted pocket in the heart of this highly sought-after neighbourhood, this classic mid-century red brick bungalow offers warmth, character and an exceptional lifestyle. Bright and beautifully cared for, the home features an inviting bay-windowed living room with a cozy gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the sun-filled dining room. Step into the welcoming, thoughtfully laid-out kitchen, designed to make everyday living easy and comfortable. Two bedrooms offer flexibility, with the second equally well suited as a home office or creative space, while the updated bathroom completes the main living area. From the kitchen, step into a wonderful three-season sunroom overlooking the gardens - a peaceful spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the changing seasons.
