Fully renovated and beautifully presented, this high-floor one-bedroom condo stands out with a custom-finished kitchen, western exposure, open views toward the Rideau River and nearby parkland, and an impressive collection of building amenities-all just steps from Green Fresh and Loblaws. The entry opens to a bright, carpet-free interior with hard-surface flooring and a thoughtful layout that makes excellent use of the space. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated kitchen offers extensive white cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash, and a practical breakfast bar that keeps the space open to the main living area. The level of finish, storage, and thoughtful updating is rarely found in a condo of this type, making the kitchen a true standout rather than a typical apartment kitchen. The open-concept living and dining area is comfortable for both everyday living and entertaining, with large windows bringing in afternoon and evening light and direct access to the expansive covered balcony. Step outside to enjoy elevated western views over the Rideau River corridor, surrounding parkland, and the city beyond-a peaceful setting for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or outdoor seating. The well-proportioned bedroom accommodates a queen-size bed and additional furniture, while the renovated three-piece bathroom features a glass walk-in shower, modern tilework, and updated fixtures. One underground parking space adds everyday convenience. Residents also enjoy an indoor lap pool, sauna, fitness room, recreation and party spaces, library/lounge areas, and shared laundry facilities. With the Rideau River, Riverain Park, Rideau Sports Centre, transit, groceries, the University of Ottawa, downtown, Vanier Parkway, and Highway 417 all close by, this home offers an exceptional combination of renovation, views, amenities, and central-city convenience, ideal for first-time buyers, professionals, or investors.
