About this home

Welcome to 536 Fort Street, a charming and well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offering approximately 1,275 square feet of living space on a quiet street in Ottawa. This home features numerous updates completed in 2017, including a new roof, siding, Andersen brand windows and doors, a new furnace, and a professionally installed drain tile system in the basement. The central air conditioning unit was replaced in 2018, and the basement has been reinforced for added peace of mind. Inside, you'll find original hardwood flooring in the bedrooms, a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and newer stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. This property combines classic charm with modern functionality and is conveniently located less than 5 minutes from downtown Ottawa, under 2 miles from Ottawa Township High School, and close to area parks, restaurants, and shopping.
