2026 – McKellar Heights – Hidden Gem on beautiful treed lot

McKellar Heights

$890,000

Tucked into a quiet enclave of homes, 850 Rex Ave. is one of urban Ottawa’s best-kept secrets – a stylish and surprisingly spacious home on a beautifully treed 7319 sqft lot. This hidden gem may appear modest from the street, but it offers incredible space and functionality inside and out.

The main floor includes an open-concept living and dining area with gas fireplace, a beautifully renovated kitchen with a peninsula for casual dining, a bedroom that doubles as a den or home office, and a full bathroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms and a 4-piece bathroom. The primary bedroom includes a clever walk-through dressing room with excellent storage and serene, leafy views of the backyard.

Beautifully renovated, the lower level has great versatility, with a large family room, cozy storybook hideaway, mudroom/laundry, and excellent storage.

Outdoors is where the magic truly happens. The oversized private backyard features a large patio for dining and entertaining, a greenhouse for gardeners, and a rare capacity to accommodate a pool or sports court — all with room to spare.

Unique access from Duncan Place opens up opportunities for an additional garage, workshop, nanny flat, or home-based business.

With amenities at your doorstep—JCC, Altea, parks, Broadview & Nepean HS, The Ottawa Hospital, Westboro shopping, dining, and easy downtown access—this fabulous home delivers beyond expectations.

Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!
