#3 645 Reardon Private, Ottawa, ON K1V2K8

A starter home that gives you room to live. The main living space opens to a private balcony where the rear outlook feels more open because there are NO CONDO UNITS DIRECTLY BEHIND. Instead, the home backs toward the Heron Road Community Centre grounds, putting recreation close at hand.645 Reardon Private is a well-kept LOWER stacked condo offering the separation of a TWO-LEVEL LAYOUT, with the main living spaces upstairs and both bedrooms comfortably tucked away on the lower level. And being the lower unit comes with some surprisingly practical advantages. Groceries come through the front door on the SAME LEVEL AS THE KITCHEN, so there is no extra flight of stairs to carry bags up before you even start unpacking. The kitchen opens to the dining and living areas, where hardwood flooring, a large rear window and patio door bring in plenty of natural light. A long peninsula adds useful prep space, and the fridge, stove and dishwasher are included. A convenient 2-piece powder room completes this level. Downstairs, the sleeping level is HIGH, DRY AND BRIGHT, with good-sized windows bringing natural light into both bedrooms. Being below the main living level also helps create a naturally cooler sleeping environment, particularly welcome on warm summer nights. Unlike an upper stacked unit, there is no top-floor bedroom level absorbing the day's heat. The primary bedroom offers generous closet storage, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for sleeping, guests or a home office. A 4-piece bathroom with separate shower and tub, in-unit stacked washer and dryer, additional storage and utility space complete the lower level. One assigned outdoor parking space is included. With groceries, restaurants, transit, recreation and everyday services nearby, this is a practical and approachable way to step into Ottawa homeownership without giving up the separation and function of a two-level home.
