What if you could stop paying rent and start building equity without sacrificing location, lifestyle, or your sanity? This freshly painted 2013 Barrhaven townhome condo is priced to sell, and it's exactly the move-in ready opportunity first-time buyers dream about. Walk into an open main floor where the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and smart layout flow seamlessly into your dining and living space. No renos needed, no weekend projects waiting, just clean laminate and tile floors that practically maintain themselves. Your small private patio extends your living room outdoors, becoming that morning coffee sanctuary or evening decompression zone you'll use far more than you expect. Downstairs, brand new carpet softens two bedrooms that stay blissfully cool all summer long, each with their own bathroom so you never have to clash over counter space and overnight guests feel genuinely welcome. In-unit laundry means freedom from coin machines and laundromat trips. Natural gas heating and central A/C handle every season, while your dedicated parking spot eliminates the winter car shuffle. And because this is a rare ground-floor unit, you'll never haul groceries up endless stairs again. But here's where this place earns its keep: you're five minutes on foot from Half Moon Bay Park and the Stonebridge Trail system, where morning runs and weekend bike rides become effortless habit. The nearby rec center offers ice rink, pool, turf fields, basketball courts, workout gym, camps, and classes. Strandherd Drive's groceries and shops are close, downtown Ottawa is thirty minutes away, and suddenly home ownership doesn't feel like compromise. Units like this don't wait around in Barrhaven at this price. If you're ready to stop renting and start owning, book your showing now before someone else beats you to it.

Set on 1.88 acres at the edge of historic Perth, this beautifully preserved 1875 stone home blends enduring character with thoughtful modern updates and space to grow. Lovingly maintained, it captures the soul of a true century home while offering today's comforts - most notably a showstopping chef's kitchen anchored by a one-of-a-kind island crafted from a reclaimed church altar. The interior offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a stunning primary suite with a spa-inspired ensuite and a bright, tranquil bedroom that feels like a private retreat. Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and intricate details reflect the craftsmanship of another era. A formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace insert and a separate dining room create inviting spaces for entertaining, while the cozy family room, warmed by another wood fireplace, is perfect for relaxed evenings at home. The dining room also features a natural gas fireplace and a convenient pass-through to the kitchen, ideal for gatherings large and small. Outdoors, enjoy a spacious screened-in solarium, a hot tub on the back deck, and a large barn brimming with potential, whether for a workshop, studio, or even a small flock of chickens. The home is serviced by its own well, providing excellent-quality water. Set well back from the road, the property offers rare privacy and a peaceful, country feel just minutes from downtown Perth's shops, restaurants, and charm. A truly special home with a rich history and plenty of room to imagine what comes next.
