**Because it takes two to make a thing go right...** 257 Lavergne Street offers the kind of flexibility that can make a home work harder for you, with two self-contained two-bedroom units, separate laundry and separate metering under one roof. Better still, the property is being sold vacant, giving the next owner the freedom to decide exactly how they want to use it from day one. For a multi-generational family, it creates the opportunity to live close while maintaining independence. For a first-time or younger buyer, the second unit can help offset the mortgage while you build equity. And for the creative investor, the property offers even more to think about, including an approximately 550 sq. ft. heated attached garage with electrical and architectural plans already prepared for a potential conversion, plus a lot that could hold longer-term redevelopment potential. The raised-bungalow design is a big part of what makes the setup work so well. Large windows bring natural light into the lower level, helping it feel like a genuine second home rather than a traditional basement apartment. Each unit offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, comfortable living space and a generous eat-in kitchen, while the upper level adds hardwood floors, a custom fireplace wall and direct access to the backyard. Outside, established gardens, a two-tiered deck and gazebo create a private place to unwind, but one of the biggest draws is what sits just beyond the property. Beechwood Avenue is close by, putting some of Ottawa's best local cafés, restaurants, specialty shops and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Live in one and rent the other. Bring family together without giving up independence. Explore a third unit or think bigger about what the property could become over time, subject to applicable approvals.257 Lavergne isn't just a bungalow with two units. It's a property with options, and the freedom to choose what comes next. (id:28469)
