679 COOPER STREET — Ottawa, Ontario

This is a rare Centretown find: a fully detached, renovated century home with a private driveway, a proper backyard, and the flexible space and layout that works for more than one stage of life. Set on a quiet street within walking distance of schools, daycares, downtown, Little Italy and LeBreton Flats, it offers 4 bedrooms, 2 updated bathrooms, main-floor laundry, a secondary living room and a convenient mudroom. The main floor is full of character from the 1880s, including original live edge hardwood flooring and tall baseboards. The kitchen was professionally renovated in 2021 with quality in mind, including Kitchen Craft cabinetry and HanStone quartz, while the upper level was remodeled in 2020 to create a more functional 3-bedroom layout with a renovated full bath. The main-floor fourth bedroom can just as easily serve as a home office or guest room. The full-height basement provides genuinely useful storage, unlike the typical musty crawl spaces often found in older Centretown homes. Outside, the 112 ft-deep lot delivers a fenced, landscaped and surprisingly private yard with mature trees, gardens and a deck for adults, kids and dogs alike to enjoy. Plus the dedicated driveway parking easily accommodates 3 full-size vehicles. In addition to the interior renovations and remodeling, other major updates in recent years include the flat roof, furnace, A/C, hot water tank and a reconstructed front porch with heritage-style detailing. No shared walls, no condo fees, no apartment buildings towering over you, and no lengthy maintenance to-do list. (id:63357)
