45 STRATHCONA AVENUE The Glebe is one of Ottawa's most coveted neighbourhoods, and this home is perfectly positioned on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the Rideau Canal. Here, quiet residential living meets exceptional convenience: adjacent to an extensive cycling network, 200 metres from groceries, easy highway access, and a short walk to Bank Street, Elgin Street, Lansdowne, and countless coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and green spaces. Enjoy all the energy of the neighbourhood without the noise and traffic. Exceptional school options include sought-after Mutchmor and First Avenue Public School catchments, Glebe Montessori, and Au Cur d'Ottawa. Inside, a large south-facing bay window sets the tone and fills the home with natural light, framing the beautiful serviceberry tree out front. The bright, custom-built Babilo kitchen features new quartz countertops, a gas range, subway tile, and an exposed brick wall that adds warmth and character. Freshly refinished hardwood floors (2026) and thoughtful modern updates preserve the timeless character that makes a Glebe home so special while offering turnkey living. The backyard is designed for easy outdoor enjoyment with low-maintenance interlock, a covered deck off the kitchen for morning coffee or evening meals, a pergola-covered retreat at the back of the yard, and a thoughtfully-designed shed with covered access, organized storage, and discreet waste and recycling area. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, including a bright and spacious primary with abundant custom built-ins, and a beautifully renovated main bathroom. The versatile basement adds valuable living space with a full bathroom (2023), TV area, home gym, workspace, and storage. Major upgrades include a new electrical panel, re-ducted HVAC, radon mitigation system, lead service replacement, and furnace and A/C (2019). Peace of mind you can't always see but will always appreciate. A rare opportunity to enjoy an elevated lifestyle in this unbeatable location! (id:203)
