#5 - 274 Daly Avenue, Ottawa

This is a rare opportunity in a Heritage home nestled amidst the gardens and tree lined streets of historic, bustling Sandy Hill. The Second Empire Tupper House is the former home of two past Prime Ministers, a father of Confederation, Premiere of Nova Scotia, Cabinet minister, and a former Mayor of Bytown. For a time after WW1 to the mid 20th century, the home was known as the Elizabeth Residence for Elderly ladies, where women from Sandy Hill lived out their final years drinking sherry in the library amidst Victorian elegance. In 1983 Barry Hobin redesigned the building into a lovely 6 unit residence. This 2bed +den third floor walk up has plenty of character, with a gorgeous stained glass window in the unit's foyer, dramatic sloped walls and dormer windows, and a luxurious primary suite! Relax with a cup of coffee on one of two balconies and wander back in time to imagine the history and nation building that happened here. Featuring many upgrades since 2021, including new hardwood floors, heated ensuite bath, kitchen and laundry room floors, all new light fixtures, plugs & switches. The kitchen and ensuite were tastefully renovated in 2025, while the guest main bath was completed in 2026, making the apartment feel luxurious with modern elegance. (1 parking, 2 visitor parking and a storage locker in the basement). PLEASE take your time to enjoy articles about the grand old dame known in the right circles as "274."
