165 Ottawa Street

About This Property

Welcome to 165 Ottawa St, a character-filled century home tucked into the heart of Almonte, one of the Ottawa Valley's most beloved small towns. Originally built in the 1880s with a kitchen addition added in the 1940s, this 1 & 3/4 storey home offers four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and the kind of timeless charm you can't recreate. The home sits on a solid stone foundation built right on bedrock and has been thoughtfully updated over the years: new windows, exterior doors, insulation, and siding in 2009; a new roof in 2022; an on-demand hot water tank in 2021; and a beautiful covered deck in 2003. Inside, original hardwood floors flow through much of the home, and the large kitchen blends original hardwood cabinets with newer cherrywood cabinetry, with plenty of room to add an island or create the eat-in kitchen you've been dreaming of. Main-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. The updated bathroom is a standout, featuring a Safestep tub with full-body relaxation jets (and a foot-bath option) and a lower space that's perfect for grandkids or little ones to splash and play, and finished off with a beautiful vessel sink atop cherry cabinetry, Step outside to the covered deck, ideal for BBQs and watching the birds and wildlife come and go, then take in the large, open backyard; a blank canvas ready for your garden, play space, or even a future pool. Location doesn't get much better: you're in the heart of Almonte, within easy reach of the hospital, schools, and shopping, and just a block from the Mississippi River, where paddling, fishing, and swimming are practically part of the neighbourhood. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Almonte's history, updated for modern living. Book your private showing today.
