The Action: Homes in McKellar Park are selling quickly and had been going over asking price, according to real estate agent Diana Sneddon, who says this has been a trend all year long as the current inventory in the neighbourhood is low.
"This beautifully renovated home received a lot of attention right out of the gate, which produced a very strong offer on the first day," she explains.
What They Got: This four-bedroom, three bathroom family home is located in McKellar Park, just minutes from trendy Westboro and less than 15 minutes from Ottawa's downtown core.
The home has been recently renovated and features hardwood throughout. The master suite has a private balcony, and an ensuite bathroom with heated floors.
The fully finished basement has a gas fireplace and area for a gym. The backyard has a large deck with privacy screens.
The Agent's Take: Ms. Sneddon says McKellar Park is "very much in demand." It's a family-friendly area, she says, with great schools, shops, and restaurants within walking distance. The proximity to Westboro, arguably Ottawa's hottest neighbourhood, makes it attractive.
