Located in the heart of North Gower, this 1890-built 2-bedroom home offers a unique combination of village character, a generous 50' x 170' lot and significant potential. Strategically located just 15 minutes from Ottawa, Manotick and the vibrant town of Kemptville, with convenient access to Highway 416, this property offers the best of a quiet village setting with easy access to surrounding communities. The home features 2 upstairs bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, well-proportioned living and dining rooms, a bright eat-in kitchen and a front sunroom overlooking the village. Several windows have been replaced, the furnace, washer and dryer, and pressure tank were updated in 2022, and the roof was completed approximately 10 years ago. Two sump pumps provide additional peace of mind. One of the property's biggest advantages is its VM7 Village Mixed-Use zoning, which allows for a broad range of residential, commercial and community-oriented opportunities, subject to applicable regulations and approvals. This flexibility opens the door to a variety of potential uses and makes the property worth considering for both homeowners and those looking for something beyond a conventional residential property. The large detached barn/garage, approximately 30' x 25', with 100-amp service, adds substantial space for storage, workshop use, hobbies or future plans. A property with character, an excellent location, generous land and plenty of potential for the next owner to bring their vision to life.
