Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Ottawa’s most walkable and vibrant neighbourhoods, 229 St. Andrew Street offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates—all without the monthly cost of condo fees. This freehold semi-detached home is ideal for anyone craving more space, private outdoor living, and a connection to the city’s downtown core.
Inside, the home is filled with warmth and personality. The main floor features a welcoming layout with hardwood flooring in the living and dining areas. While not original, the floors—likely around 100 years old—still carry the character of a heritage home that’s 161 years in the making. The renovated kitchen (2023) includes quartz countertops and ample cabinetry, with direct access to a renovated mudroom (2022) for extra storage and functionality. The full bathroom is located on the main floor, a convenient layout rarely found in homes of this era.
Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms offer flexibility for rest, work, or guests, with easy-to-maintain laminate flooring throughout. The unfinished basement offers excellent storage and room for future development.
Step outside to your fenced backyard, where you’ll find a peaceful patio area perfect for relaxing or entertaining, plus two garden beds ideal for growing herbs, veggies, or flowers. The front porch was rebuilt and interlock regrading completed in 2024, giving the home lovely curb appeal.
The home has seen meaningful infrastructure improvements, including foundation repair and repointing and a back roof repair completed in April 2025. Plumbing (ABS) and electrical systems were updated by a previous owner and remain in excellent condition. The hot water tank is owned.
The property includes one parking space, accessed via a shared laneway with an easement agreement in place. Additional inclusions are the washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove, microwave, two sheds, basement shelving, window blinds, light fixtures, and a patio table.
Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. You're just a short walk to Stanley Park, the Governor General’s Grounds, Rideau Falls, and the Ottawa Rowing Club—not to mention the endless shops, restaurants, and cultural spots of the ByWard Market. For government employees or Gatineau commuters, access to OC Transpo and STO transit lines is easy, and the nearby LRT will soon connect even more of the city.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, urban professional, or investor, 229 St. Andrew Street offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of Ottawa history, with the modern upgrades and walkable lifestyle today’s buyers are looking for.
