Two-bedroom, semi-basement apartment in a smoke-free triplex with hardwood floors, a laundry facility in the building, and parking. This is the "ground-floor" unit, with floors about 3.5 feet below ground level and a ceiling about 3.5 feet above.
The building is located in the New Edinburgh/Lindenlea area close to shopping on Beechwood Avenue. Several buses ( #6, #7, and #19) stop nearby, and the By-Ward Market, the University of Ottawa, and Global Affairs are each about a twenty-minute walk. The Rockliffe and Lindenlea tennis courts are in the neighborhood, and the McKay Lake pond (where one can swim) is within walking distance. The tenants in the building are quiet and considerate.
The two bedrooms in this apartment are both about the same size (10.5’ x 11’). They are separated by a double wall which is 11' long with closets along its length. The apartment has a living/dining room (about 11’ x 19’), a three-piece bathroom, a galley kitchen (10’ x 6’) with a large pantry, and three storage areas (including one for bicycles). The apartment’s hardwood floors are in good condition, and the kitchen comes equipped with a frost-free refrigerator and a modern stove. The building is heated by hot-water radiators that can be adjusted by the tenant. The kitchen and bathroom are painted white and the two bedrooms a Mediterranean (or ochre-tint) off-white; the living room is currently painted a darkish green with a white ceiling lit by 6 pot lights. The windows come equipped with venetian blinds, and they open inwards for easy cleaning. The apartment also has a well-shaded yard (about 12’x 20’) that is exclusive to this unit and suitable for a barbecue. The outside dimensions of the building are about 25’ x 40’. This apartment is clean, comfortable, and attractive, and the yard is a bonus feature.
The rent of $1850 includes heat and hot water. Parking for one car is available for $100 per month. There is a laundry facility in the building, and it may be used on a time-sharing basis for a flat monthly fee of $17 per person. Hydro for the lights and stove (about $35 a month) is extra. This unit will be available on September 1. A twelve-month lease will be required initially. For more information, you may respond by e-mail or by texting or calling Jim (613-746-6261)
