1088 Checkers Road, Ottawa

In centrally located Bel-Air Park, this solid and well-built home on Checkers checks the boxes for buyers looking to get into the market and build some sweat equity over time. We love the location. Walk to nearby parks for community events, winter skating and plenty of neighbourhood fun. Once construction is complete, the LRT will be a quick walk away, while easy access to the Queensway and a beautiful tree-lined bike path make getting around the city a breeze. Inside, the generously sized living room features a large bay window and wood-burning fireplace. The dining room has handy built-in storage, while the kitchen is basic but functional and overlooks the expansive backyard. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, including two with windows on two sides that let in terrific natural light. The main bathroom has been updated while keeping its original vintage tile in great condition. Those who appreciate a little retro charm will love the classic pattern and sweet colour scheme. Downstairs, you will find laundry, a three-piece bathroom, a small kitchenette and additional living space. It offers great flexibility for an extended family setup or the potential to explore a future secondary income suite with the required changes and approvals. The backyard is incredibly private and feels like your own private park. A large shed offers terrific storage, and the attached carport keeps snow and ice off the car in the winter. With parks, shopping, transit and connections across the city all close at hand, this is an easy place to put down roots and a great opportunity to make a solid home your own.
