    This recently remodeled two-story Eastside home with FOUR lots offers the perfect blend of history and modern comfort-plus a front-row view of Ottawa's softball field. A new concrete front porch and ramp (2023) lead into a bright, open-concept layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor features an updated kitchen (2023) with newer appliances that flows seamlessly into a spacious great room, complete with a convenient half bath for guests. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat with a beautifully updated ensuite featuring ceramic tile, heated floors, and a smart toilet, along with a stunning cedar walk-in closet added in 2024. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath, all refreshed with new flooring and paint (2023). Additional improvements include new oak stairs, a new front door, updated flooring throughout, and fresh finishes that make this home truly move-in ready. This property offers plenty of room to relax or play, with a fully fenced yard and electric gate (2023). A quality Morton outbuilding with a brand-new overhead door (2025) provides excellent storage or workspace. Brand new AC unit installed October 2025. The same owners have lovingly cared for this home since 1971-now ready for its next chapter. AGENT RELATED
