The brief
About 304-222 Russell Ave
304-222 Russell Ave is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in Sandy Hill, Ottawa, listed for sale at an asking price of $550,000 (MLS® X13709302).
Space, light and a quiet, treed street: welcome to Unit 304 at 222 Russell Avenue. This 2-storey, 3-bedroom home sits on one of Sandy Hill's most beautifully treed, walkable streets, quiet enough that the loudest sound most days is laughter drifting over from the nearby park. The boutique, self-managed 9-unit brick building is meticulously managed, and just minutes from the University of Ottawa, the Rideau Centre and Rideau Canal pathways. Inside, the 2-level layout creates a natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, giving it the feel of a townhouse without the upkeep. Freshly painted and move-in ready, the home features hardwood floors, a modern kitchen with induction cooktop and huge island, and a wood-burning fireplace. A main floor powder room adds convenience for guests. Two skylights and windows on two exposures fill the home with natural light, while the huge primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and private access to the upstairs bath, complete with double sinks, a tub, shower and heated towel rack. Two more bedrooms and second-floor laundry complete the layout. A private balcony offers outdoor space rarely found in urban living, and the unit also comes with a dedicated parking spot and large storage locker. Pet friendly, with only nine units, the building's small scale creates a genuine sense of community, without the anonymity of a high-rise. Sandy Hill remains one of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods, close to Parliament Hill, government offices, transit, parks, restaurants and the Canal. If you've been searching for a home with the feel and flow of a townhouse, in a location with enduring demand, this one is worth a look.
