Opportunities like this one in Bel Air Heights don't surface often, and when they do, they move. 1237 Whitmore Avenue is a solid all-brick bungalow on a premium 55-foot lot in one of Ottawa's most established west-end communities, just minutes from the 417, schools, parks, and everyday amenities. Even better, it is now vacant and ready for a quick possession.Built in 1960, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a fireplace, a finished basement, and a carport. The main level has been thoroughly cleaned and freshly painted, so you can walk in and picture yourself living here from day one. Downstairs, the basement has just come through significant recent work and is finished with brand new carpet, giving you flexible space for a family room, guest room, or home office. For added peace of mind, the seller is also installing a new sump pump.There is still room to add your own updates, and the home is priced to reflect that. Whether you're a buyer ready to make it your own or an investor with an eye for potential, this property rewards vision. The lot configuration and zoning in this pocket may support conversion to a duplex, triplex, or the addition of a coach house at the rear. Buyers are encouraged to do their own due diligence with the City of Ottawa.No tenants, no notice periods, no waiting.
