Why this house
Downtown living, with a garage — and a canal at the end of the street
A few steps from the Rideau Canal
The canal is at the end of the street. In winter it is the Rideau Canal Skateway, so you can lace up and go; the rest of the year its paths are for walking, running and cycling.
An attached garage, downtown
Rare this close to downtown: an attached garage off a private laneway, and parking for two. The door is new, with a winter seal and a keypad.
Two private terraces
A patio through French doors off the living room, and a terrace off the primary bedroom, upstairs.
Walk everywhere
The National Arts Centre is a few blocks away; the Rideau Centre, Parliament and the offices downtown are a walk. No commute.
Great schools nearby
On foot: Lisgar Collegiate in a few minutes, the University of Ottawa in ten, and Francojeunesse, a public French elementary school, in fifteen. Lycée Claudel is 12 minutes by LRT.
Looked after
A Miele dishwasher with a 10-year warranty, a new garage door, a Nest camera door system and alarms, and a dry basement.

On film
Walk through it
A tour of the house from the listing agents, then two walks the owners filmed from the front door: along the canal, and to the NAC and home again.
A letter from the owners
Dear next owner,
We're selling 24 Robert Street, and we wanted to tell you what a listing can't.
The Rideau Canal is a few metres from the front door. In winter it becomes a skating rink you can step onto at the end of the street; the rest of the year, its paths are made for walking, running and cycling.
The National Arts Centre is a few blocks away — close enough that a concert or a play can be a last-minute decision. Everything else is a walk too: Elgin Street, the Rideau Centre, the offices downtown. Working downtown means no commute.
For school, Lisgar Collegiate is a few minutes away on foot and Francojeunesse, a public French elementary school, about fifteen; the University of Ottawa is a ten-minute walk across the canal, and Lycée Claudel is twelve minutes by LRT.
And when you do need the car, it's in an attached garage, which is rare this close to downtown.
We hope you'll love living here as much as we have.

Come see it
Come walk the street with us.
The best way to know if this is your house is to stand on the porch, walk to the canal, and get a coffee on Elgin. We'd love to show you around.
