Live the Westboro lifestyle – without the big price tag! Visit our Open House, Sunday 2-4 pm Just steps from the restaurants, boutiques and coffee shops of trendy Westboro, plus the walking and biking paths of the Ottawa River, this McKellar Park condo townhouse is the perfect setting for your distinctive urban lifestyle. Location, style, and price all come together in Riverwood Estates – a great place to call home! Compact on the outside, the five-level home is surprisingly spacious inside. It features three bedrooms, separate living and dining rooms, a good-sized kitchen and laundry area, and a large lower-level family room: almost 1,500 square feet. (Compare that to some newly built places that have only 900 sq ft – and charge much more.) There's also a well-treed patio, and a balcony off the living room. In morning and afternoon, daylight floods into the rooms through large windows; and new flooring and paint throughout give the place a fresh, updated feel. Enjoy walk-everywhere convenience in this leafy location, only minutes from parks, strolls, Westboro Beach, shopping, and transit. You can drive downtown in no time along the Ottawa River Parkway, or take buses from nearby Dominion Station; highway 417 is just five minutes to the south. See below for photos (click to enlarge) and details – then come and see for yourself! |

The spacious east-facing kitchen provides plenty of morning sun to go with your coffee and newspaper. Earth tones give it a relaxing feel.
The gas stove is a delight for dedicated cooks.

Master Bedroom
Upstairs the large, tranquil master bedroom, coolly inviting in pale blue and white, beckons you to sink into the pillows and relax.
The bedroom also offers ample closet space, a "cheater" ensuite, and new carpets throughout the upper level.Two other bedrooms, both a good size, also have fresh neutral paint and carpets.
Ensuite Bathroom
A large glassed-in shower stall, and a soaker tub with Jacuzzi jets, lets you keep clean in style; a faux-granite counter and a Colonial vanity provide both looks and ample storage. (There's also a powder room on the lower level of the house.)

Note: The Condominium Corporation has recently announced a major exterior upgrading project for the Riverwood Estates community (see Exterior Upgrades).
Its goal is to boost the market value of all homes to the $400,000 mark, by the time the work is completed, over the next two years. This means that your equity in your new home will increase by about $40,000 – making this an excellent opportunity for a buyer to dramatically increase their equity in a property over in a short period.
