Wow, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath single detached two-storey delivers the floor plan families keep asking for: separate living and dining rooms for hosting, plus an open-concept kitchen and family room where everyone naturally gathers. A cozy fireplace anchors the family room, and patio doors open directly onto the fully fenced backyard, making summer barbecues and quiet evenings outside effortless. A main floor laundry room with inside access to the attached garage keeps daily routines simple, and a powder room completes the level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with its own private ensuite, while a full main bathroom serves the two additional bedrooms. The full-height unfinished basement is a genuine opportunity: bring your own plan for a rec room, home office or gym and build equity in a home that has been comfortably lived in and well cared for. Outside, the private double driveway offers ample parking alongside the garage, and the private yard gives kids and pets room to roam. The setting is what keeps this pocket of Orléans in steady demand. Louis Perrault Park with its playground and Heritage Park with its baseball diamond are close by, along with the Ottawa Public Library branch on Orléans Boulevard, everyday grocery stores, shops and restaurants. Families have their pick of nearby French and English schools, including École élémentaire catholique l'Étoile-de-l'Est, École élémentaire catholique Saint-Joseph d'Orléans, École Catholique Garneau and St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Elementary School. Commuters will appreciate easy access to Highway 174 and the O-Train station for a straightforward trip downtown. A solid, well-located family home with a functional layout, a private yard and a lower level waiting for your vision.
