300 Powell Avenue 208 Ottawa, ON K1S 5T3

One of the largest and most unique lofts currently available in Ottawa's urban core. Welcome to Unit 208 at the iconic Powell Lofts, a beautifully converted former schoolhouse by Charlesfort, originally home to the Borden School gymnasium. This rare corner unit offers stunning open-concept living space with soaring 14-foot ceilings and oversized wraparound windows that flood the home with natural light from two sides. Unlike many lofts, this space feels both architecturally striking and exceptionally functional. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the condo features hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, painted kitchen cabinetry, induction stove (2023), custom blinds, and a spacious entertaining layout with incredible proportions. Plenty of room for that grand dining room table! The primary bedroom offers a full ensuite bath, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, office space, or creative use. Additional features include a convenient powder room, in-unit laundry and pantry area. Hidden storage loft above the pantry, custom-built maple entry storage bench (2026). Storage locker, 2 dedicated bike storage, and elevator access. What truly sets this home apart is the atmosphere. Surrounded by mature greenery in the summer for added privacy and shade, while winter sunlight pours through the oversized windows creating an inspiring and uplifting living space. Known for its excellent acoustics and natural light, this loft is ideal for entertaining, music, photography, or anyone looking for a truly creative urban home. Located steps to the Glebe, Dow's Lake, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Arboretum, restaurants, cafés, and the O-Train. Extremely well-managed building with a strong condo board and many long-term original owners. Authentic loft living with character and scale that is almost impossible to replicate. (id:41440)
