Welcome to 1 Columbus Unit 403, a top-floor 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom that balances a central Ottawa location with a quiet, community-focused atmosphere. Positioned at North River Road and the Rideau River, this unit overlooks a lush private courtyard with mature gardens, offering a peaceful view while minutes from the downtown core. It is well-suited for active downsizers or professionals seeking a well-run building. The interior is defined by natural light, anchored by a kitchen skylight and large windows that brighten the space throughout the day. The kitchen was renovated in the summer of 2025, and both the full and half bathrooms were replaced in the summer of 2023. Climate control is managed by a central heat pump installed in 2022, providing high-efficiency heating and cooling with an electric backup. The owned hot water tank was also replaced in 2026. Being on the top floor means more privacy with no neighbors above, and the wood-burning fireplace adds a cozy touch to the living area. Outside your door, the lifestyle options are excellent. You're around the corner from the Rideau Sports Centre- which offers year-round tennis, seasonal pickleball, and an outdoor pool in the summer. The NCC bike paths and the River are practically in your backyard, and the Adawe Crossing bridge makes it easy to walk or bike to Sandy Hill, UOttawa, Rideau Centre, or Byward Market. Commuting is simple with quick highway access. Overall, a quality renovated unit in a building known for its welcoming spirit, active social committees, and diverse mix of neighbors who value low-maintenance living with access to beautiful green space; an overall quiet building. 1 underground parking + storage locker with elevator access to your floor without going outside. Whether you want to downsize without losing a garden vibe or you're a professional wanting a turn-key home near the river, this offers the right blend of modern convenience and community. (id:25961)
