About this listing

Rarely does a condominium offer this much space, flexibility and location in the heart of Sandy Hill. Welcome to Unit 304 at 222 Russell Avenue, a 2-storey, 3-bedroom condominium in a self-managed 9-unit brick building just minutes from the University of Ottawa, the Rideau Centre, Rideau Canal pathways & everything downtown Ottawa has to offer. The 2 level layout creates a natural separation between living & sleeping spaces, making the home equally appealing to professionals, families, downsizers & more. Hardwood floors, the modern kitchen, induction cooktop, huge island and wood burning fireplace make it easy to live in! Huge primary bedroom with walk-in closet and cheater door to bathroom fits any bedroom set. 2 more bedrooms and a second floor laundry make this a great purchase. Southwest exposure, windows on 2 sides & a skylight fill the unit with natural light while the private balcony provides outdoor space rarely found in urban living. The unit also comes with a dedicated parking space and a large storage locker. The building's boutique size contributes to a strong sense of ownership & community while helping avoid the feel of a large high-rise complex. For parents of university-aged children, this property presents an opportunity worth considering. Instead of paying rent for several years, ownership allows students to live in a safe, established neighbourhood within walking distance of campus while potentially offsetting ownership costs with roommates. Sandy Hill continues to be one of Ottawa's most consistently desirable urban neighbourhoods thanks to its proximity to the University of Ottawa, Parliament Hill, government offices, transit, parks, restaurants, recreation and the Canal. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a downtown pied-à-terre, housing for university students or an investment in a location with enduring demand, Unit 304 offers a combination of space, location and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find.
