Cross Streets: North River Road and Rideau. ** Directions: Heading east from downtown, take a right onto North River and watch on your left for Columbus Ave. Set directly across from Riverain Park and the Rideau River, this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom condo is close to downtown, connected to the outdoors and removed from the routine of a high-rise. The fully decked, park-facing patio functions as a genuine extension of the living space with open views across the greenery toward the river. A private street-level entrance connects the patio directly to the kitchen and living area, so groceries, bikes, pets and everyday arrivals never involve a lobby or elevator. Inside, the single-level layout is practical and well proportioned. The open living and dining area works for quiet evenings and easy entertaining. The unit also comes with underground parking and a storage locker. Across the street, Riverain Park includes a splash pad, basketball courts, baseball diamond, skatepark, dog park and multi-use pathways. The Rideau Winter Trail and riverfront cycling network connect toward Sandy Hill, Lowertown and the broader NCC pathway system. The Adàwe Crossing provides a direct walking and cycling link across the river. Nearby, the Rideau Sports Centre offers year-round tennis, pickleball, fitness, an outdoor pool and The Bridge Public House. Transit routes 9, 10, 18 and 19 serve the North River and Columbus area, with the ByWard Market, University of Ottawa, Rideau Centre and downtown approximately ten minutes away by car. (id:27476)
