Rarely offered property on McGillivray, a block from the Canal, two blocks from the Main Streets hipster vibe and St Paul Uni, minutes to downtown(by bike), OC Transpo nearby, steps to Ottawa Farmers Market, walking distance to TD Lansdowne. A sturdy century home with recently repointed brick, a newer furnace and updated roof membrane. Shared driveway with parking spot at the back( street parking available). Deck, gardens and hot tub with plenty of sunlight onto this east-west facing property. Front porch for chilling and staring at the passersby, spacious interior foyer, with large living room, part bathroom, dining room that fits 6-8 guests AND a hutch, side yard access to secure your gardening tools and manage the recycling, a well loved kitchen that is perfect for a party with direct access to back deck for a BBQ.
