Step into the charm and energy of Merrickville with this affordable 4-bedroom home brimming with potential! Perfect for first-time buyers, growing families, or savvy investors, this property sits on a generous 80 ft by 80 ft lot, offering room to expand, renovate, or explore *development possibilities*. The main level welcomes you with a spacious, freshly painted kitchen (2026), a large dining room, and a cozy living area highlighted by stunning exposed timber beams, believed to flow throughout the home. Upstairs, the 12-inch-wide pine plank floors are full of character and ready to be refinished, bringing out their original beauty. Recent updates ensure the home is move-in ready: fresh paint, new trim throughout, and exterior improvements completed in August 2025. Comfort and efficiency are enhanced with R20 insulation in the upper walls and attic, updated about seven years ago. Major systems have been well maintained: furnace replaced in 2021, tin roof approximately 12 years old, and the septic system recently pumped. Propane tanks are included with no rental fee, powering the home's primary heating system. Location couldn't be better: just one block from the Rideau River and a short stroll to downtown Merrickville, where cafés, shops, and local amenities bring small-village life to your doorstep. Commuting is easy - less than 40 minutes to Ottawa, 24 minutes to Brockville, and just 15 minutes to Kemptville or Smiths Falls. Don't miss this rare chance to own a character-filled home with endless potential in one of the area's most vibrant and desirable communities. Opportunities like this don't come around often!
