1252 Dorchester Avenue, Ottawa

Set on a 39.95 ft by 134.83 ft lot, 1252 Dorchester benefits from R4UC zoning, which permits the construction of a low-rise apartment building with up to 8 units as of right, and the potential for up to 12 units with a minor variance. The site’s size, zoning, and proximity to transit and neighborhood amenities make it an attractive prospect for investors and developers looking to maximize Ottawa’s growing demand for infill housing. At the same time, the existing two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-and-a-half-storey home with a detached garage offers comfortable living in a family-friendly community — the home includes an eat-in kitchen with wood cabinetry and white appliances and a cozy dining area, plus a bright glass-enclosed sunroom/solarium with black-framed panels that sits off the rear and connects to a small wooden deck and paved driveway via a short ramp. Exterior photos show the detached garage at the back of the lot and room for off-street parking. Interior images also highlight original wood trim and a wood-paneled stairwell leading to the upper level, reinforcing the home’s character and immediate livability. Residents will appreciate being just steps to Alexander Park, W.E Gowling Public School, and the Experimental Farm pathway, while enjoying the quiet setting of an established neighborhood; aerial views emphasize mature, tree-lined streets and clear sightlines to surrounding green spaces, underscoring the property’s proximity to parks and recreational routes. Whether you're seeking an immediate redevelopment project or a home with long-term potential, this property delivers rare flexibility in a prime urban setting. (id:1945)
