• 1,725 sq/ft across three levels, with city and harbour views
• Rare heritage boulevard setting, plus a 200+ sq/ft deck, private balcony, and south-facing backyard
• Direct access to a private garage, offered at $1,649,000”
Lower Lonsdale has no shortage of new construction, but a rare offering just surfaced in one of its quietest, most distinctive corners. A 2-bedroom + den, 3-bathroom half-duplex has come to market in Ottawa Gardens, a historic, low-traffic block lined with heritage homes and set along an expansive boulevard that gives it a sense of space and separation rarely found this close to the water.
That boulevard setting is a big part of what makes Ottawa Gardens genuinely uncommon. Rather than the tight lot lines typical of infill development, this block offers a large green setting between homes: all the enjoyment of extra space and separation without the maintenance that usually comes with it.
The home itself spans over 1,725 sq/ft across three levels, combining city and harbour views with direct access to a private garage, a pairing that's genuinely hard to find at this price point in Lower Lonsdale. The top floor does the heavy lifting: a family room with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and large picture windows framing sweeping city views, connected to a fully enclosed solarium that works equally well as a home office, reading room, or sunroom. From the solarium, direct access leads out to a deck of over 200 sq/ft overlooking the harbour, one of several outdoor spaces this home offers.
The top floor also holds the primary suite: a large bedroom with a 4-piece ensuite, a walk-in closet, and its own private balcony framing views toward Grouse Mountain. A flexible den completes the level, well suited to a home office or sitting area today, with the option to convert it into a third bedroom down the road. Side-by-side laundry rounds out this level's practical layout.
Outside, the sun-drenched lot adds another dimension entirely. A south-facing backyard is planted with raised vegetable garden beds, while a fenced front area finished in low-maintenance artificial turf keeps upkeep simple. A large crawl space with access from the garage, hot water heating, and extensive off-street parking in the driveway off the lane round out the home's practical foundation.
Location is where this listing closes the loop. Despite its quiet, established setting, the home sits just moments from Victoria Park, The Quay Market, The Shipyards, and a full run of Lower Lonsdale restaurants and shops, with the SeaBus close at hand for an easy downtown commute.
What This Means for You
Ottawa Gardens is the kind of setting that rarely comes up: real outdoor space (a garden bed backyard, a deck, a balcony) with none of the upkeep of a full single-family lot, in a block that feels private and established rather than dense and new. It's a strong fit for a downsizer who wants a yard and a view without full-house maintenance, or a professional couple who wants harbour views and Lower Lonsdale's walkability without giving up outdoor living. If space, views, and a quiet, character-filled block are on your list, this one is worth a look before it's gone.
