Welcome to this spacious and inviting 2-story traditional home located on Ottawa's highly sought-after south side. With 4-5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this home offers an ideal blend of classic charm and modern functionality. The welcoming front porch and timeless curb appeal set the tone as you step into the open foyer, highlighted by a beautiful staircase. The main level showcases a bright and inviting living room, while the open-concept kitchen features a central island with seating and flows seamlessly into the dining room, perfect for family dinners or entertaining. A flexible bonus room on the first floor can serve as a cozy family room, home office, or even a fifth, main floor bedroom. A full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, as well as a shared full bathroom. The finished basement adds even more living space with a rec room, laundry area, a large storage room, and a third full bathroom. Step outside to enjoy the fenced backyard and a large heated garage with a massive 28x21 second-story loft-ideal for storage, a workshop, or future finishing. Recent updates include roof, gutters, siding, and windows (2017). This home offers plenty of room to grow, both inside and out, in one of Ottawa's most desirable locations.
