Just outside Manotick, this 1870 stone house sits on a half-acre lot with a view of the Rideau from the enclosed front porch. You're 3 km from Watson's Mill and a handful of restaurants like Black Dog Bistro and La Piazza, and St. Mark High School is 3.7 km away. The main floor has 10-foot ceilings, original wood trim, and hardwood floors throughout. There's a mudroom with a new 2026 patio door and a separate living room. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a 4-piece bath, plus a laundry room. The kitchen and bathroom were updated around 2012-2014, and the metal roof is from that era too. Heat is hydronic, with a forced air backup, and there's central air. The lot has a drilled well and septic system. Outside, there's a massive detached 2+ car garage with room for a workshop, two storage sheds, and a partially fenced yard with a deck. Plenty of parking with room for 12 vehicles. Basement is unfinished, but the stone foundation is solid. Taxes run $4,262 annually. At $599,900, it's priced below the $749,000 median sale nearby, and only one other active listing in the area. If you want historic character with some modern updates, this is worth a look.
