Urban souls thrive on this best kept secret street of century old brick homes, sheltered beneath an ancient limestone bluff. From the street, well-conserved Victorian charm rules. Inside, discover a perfect balance of historic character and contemporary style. The 100-year-old front door opens on a pleasing foyer with reception closet and chandelier. An elegant living room beckons with gas hearth and classic conservatory-style shelving. High, well-detailed ceilings boast recessed lighting and crown moldings. Half-paneling nods to Georgian good taste. Old-world proportions shape a celebratory dining room. The tall eat-in kitchen says 'home' with granite counters, hardwood and artisanal backsplash. A ground floor powder room conceals a full laundry. Upstairs, a great floor plan tucks a bright bedroom/office with private deck down an L-shaped hall, far from the spacious master suite. Revel in urban diversity, with a short walk in any direction: Chinatown, Little Italy and Ottawa river bike paths are steps away. Restaurants and food shops abound. Downtown and Place du Portage worksites are walking close. Everything's here, city-perfect including private deck and yard and concealed lane parking. Don't miss it. Plan your appointment today.
