17 O’Meara St.

Heavenly in Hintonburg

This semi-detached duplex is a fantastic investment opportunity with the potential to also live on site. Located steps from Wellington and Scott streets, it checks off so many boxes.

Not only is it close to everything Wellington has to offer, it’s also close to the Bayview LRT station, Tom Brown Arena, Laroche Park and next door to Bayview Friendship Park — while the street itself is quiet and serene.

This legal duplex has a tenant in the upper unit while the main-floor unit is move-in ready for a new owner or can be leased to a tenant.

The property has been meticulously maintained and updated while preserving character details like the twist doorbell in the original front door and the clawfoot tub in the upper unit. Updates have been done tastefully to modernize both units and introduce unusual features such as natural slate counters and accents throughout and floating mounted moulding in the main-floor unit that allows you to hang artwork as if you’re in an art gallery.

Both units are one bedroom and share a private driveway that has room for two cars, one for each unit. The main-floor unit includes a large open-concept living room and dining room (or study area), full modern bathroom, large kitchen with new appliances and breakfast nook, and a bedroom large enough for two king-sized beds. The bedroom also features an unexpected access to the basement that’s tastefully integrated into the hardwood floor.

The main-floor unit has full access to the basement, where a dry, full-height section has recently been added with poured concrete foundation, offering a great space for an office, workout room or man cave, as well as full laundry facilities.

The main-floor unit also has private access to the backyard, which is fully landscaped with a deck and raised garden beds.

The updated upstairs unit is light, bright and has been well-maintained by the tenant. It features a living/study area at the front, good storage, a bedroom large enough for a queen bed, large dine-in kitchen with excellent storage and its own washer and dryer, full bathroom and a private terrace.

Close to the Ottawa River and Little Italy, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
