Welcome to 159 Hawthorne Avenue, an absolutely charming home in the heart of Old Ottawa East, one of Ottawa's most vibrant and walkable neighbourhoods. Built in 1930 and lovingly cared for by the same owners for 43 years, this special 3-bedroom + den/office, 2-bathroom home is filled with warmth, character, and a lifetime of stories. A thoughtfully designed two-storey addition expands the home beautifully while preserving its original charm, with period-inspired details including wainscotting, crown mouldings, built-ins, and a reclaimed oak door. The kitchen was designed for those who love to cook and still be part of the conversation, opening to a bright family room and creating a wonderful flow for everyday living and entertaining, while the formal living room with gas fireplace offers a cozy place to unwind. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with generous closet space, including a light-filled primary bedroom and a spacious bedroom with cathedral ceilings and skylights, plus a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub. Outside, enjoy morning coffee beneath the majestic maple tree on the private front verandah or relax in the low-maintenance, fully fenced backyard with a charming curved boardwalk leading to private parking off the rear lane. And then there's location location location. Just two blocks from the Rideau Canal, with the Rideau River, trails, parks, cafés, restaurants, shops, the farmers' market, the Flora Footbridge, Lansdowne and the Glebe all within easy reach, this is a neighbourhood made for walking, biking and truly enjoying the city. Offering the energy and convenience of urban living with the warmth and connection of a true community, this is more than a charming place to call home, it's an opportunity to experience one of Ottawa's most loved neighbourhoods at its very best.
