A rare opportunity to own a character-filled home in the residential heart of Lowertown, just beyond the energy of the ByWard Market. Built in 1917, 236 Cathcart Street blends period charm with thoughtful updates and offers a surprisingly peaceful retreat in one of Ottawa's most historic neighbourhoods.Step inside to soaring ceilings and beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the principal rooms. The inviting living and dining spaces are full of warmth and character. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with careful attention to the era of the home, while cork flooring adds comfort and practicality underfoot. An updated powder room on the main level is a welcome convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, an updated three-piece bathroom and the convenience of a separate laundry room. At the back of the home, a delightful private veranda creates an intimate outdoor escape for morning coffee, summer dinners or quiet evenings. A second veranda at the front provides another charming place to sit and enjoy the streetscape. The freshly painted façade enhances the home's curb appeal, while parking for two vehicles is an exceptional advantage in this central location. Close to Cathcart Square, Bingham Park, the ByWard Market, the National Gallery, shops, restaurants and transit, this wonderfully walkable setting also offers easy access across the river to Gatineau Park and its year-round hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing. Ottawa's cultural and historic landmarks-and the natural beauty of the Gatineau Hills-are all within easy reach." Full of personality, warmth and urban convenience, 236 Cathcart Street is not a cookie-cutter property-it is a distinctive home with a story to tell and inviting spaces to make your own.
