With approximately 1,059 sq. ft. on one level, the layout offers room to gather, space for hobbies and a quiet corner to make your own. A large bay window fills the main living room with natural light, while the generous eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, countertops replaced in 2025 and a newer stove. The former three-season sunroom was converted to year-round living space in 2023, creating a bright second sitting area with an adjoining breakfast nook.

Two bedrooms with ample closet storage, a bathroom with an updated shower and conveniently located laundry with a newer washer and dryer complete the interior.

Everyone says a detached home with a private yard is gone under $200,000. Here's one, minutes from Smiths Falls. 17 Bridle Path sits at the end of the road in Otterdale Estates on a double lot, with open fields and bush on one side instead of a neighbour. This is the lot everyone else in the park wanted.The backyard is the reason to come see it. Mature trees, a privacy fence, a deck off the back, and a firepit for the nights that run long. The front deck is new in 2026 and looks out at the quiet end of the road. Inside, the modular bungalow gives you two bedrooms and a full bath, plus a third bedroom the current owners opened up as a flex room. Office, den, playroom, whatever your life needs it to be. Put a wall back in and it is a bedroom again. New interior doors and lighting in 2026, fresh paint in every room including the kitchen cabinets, and a fireplace that was WETT certified under previous ownership and can be recertified by the buyer if you want to burn wood. The practical side: New breaker panel in 2025. Hot water tank is a Reliance rental at $20 a month with all maintenance and replacement included, and can be bought outright if you would rather own. The carport came down in 2025 and became a 10 by 20 interlock parking pad, with an EV charger mounted on the exterior of the home. The lot fee is $473 a month. That covers water and sewer through the park's shared system with nothing for you to maintain, snow removal on the roadways, and upkeep of the green space. There is a playground for the kids, and garbage and recycling are picked up weekly by Rideau Lakes township. Fields on one side, trees on the other, a fire out back, and a charger for the car.

Property taxes under $2,100 a year. Heat and hydro under $300 a month. A self-contained one-bedroom suite with its own entrance that can put rent against your mortgage from day one.

The suite has its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, bright bedroom, and 4-piece bath. Rent it, move your parents in, or give adult kids their own front door. The floor plan can also convert back to a single 3 plus bedroom home without a gut renovation. The main residence offers two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a vaulted kitchen and dining area where skylights (2022) and a south-facing picture window keep the whole level bright in every season. An oversized island and generous cabinetry handle the real cooking. The big-ticket work is done: shingles 2024, electric furnace 2023, A/C 2021, crawl-space spray foam 2021, siding and windows 2020. Water softener with reverse osmosis at both kitchen sinks, a 200 amp panel with separate generator panel, attached double garage, basement workshop, and a 23 by 13 outbuilding out back waiting to be restored.

Two complete homes, one connected life. Set on just under an acre at the edge of Smiths Falls, this updated home was made for the way families actually live, together, but with space to be separate when it counts.

The two units share a stacked laundry and run efficiently on a central electric furnace (2023) and A/C (2021). And if life changes, the layout converts back to a single 3+ bedroom home without a gut job. Downstairs, the basement has served as a woodworking shop for years and stays ready for hobbies or storage. The attached double garage adds everyday utility, and a 23' x 13' outbuilding at the back of the lot is a blank canvas, ready to become your workshop, studio, or future bunkie. Big-ticket updates are already done: shingles (2024), kitchen skylights (2022), siding and windows (2020), attic insulation, and spray foam in the crawl space (2021). Whether you're building a multi-generational setup or looking for a property that pays part of its own mortgage, this one gives you options, just minutes from town.
