Great buy! This elegant white-brick home in the heart of the Glebe offers timeless character, thoughtful updates and phenomenal versatility. Registered as a duplex and historically configured as one, it functions beautifully as a single-family residence, a multi-generational home, or an income-producing property. Its Traditional Mainstreet zoning further enhances the flexibility of uses available. The inviting exterior - complete with a covered front porch and mature landscaping - introduces the charm found throughout. The main floor is currently used as a home office and includes its own kitchen, living/dining room with fireplace, full bathroom, and access to the low-maintenance backyard. When closed off, this level becomes a self-contained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom suite. The second and third floors comprise a spacious two-level apartment with hardwood floors, sun-filled rooms and elegant period detailing. The living room features a fireplace and opens to a wood-clad sunroom, while the adjoining dining room and kitchen offer beautiful flow and tranquil garden views. The upgraded kitchen includes granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar, plus a walkout to a deck with stairs leading to the terraced backyard. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with its own powder room. The fenced, tiered backyard is peaceful and low maintenance, with two levels of decking that extend the living space outdoors. Adding to its appeal, the property enjoys an outstanding Glebe location. You are a short walk to the Rideau Canal, Bank Street's shops and restaurants, and the conveniences of Little Italy - offering an enviable lifestyle in one of Ottawa's most walkable neighbourhoods. Beautifully maintained and wonderfully adaptable, this wonderful residence presents a rare opportunity in a coveted setting.
