Unit 503, 85 Bronson Avenue

The Gardens is among Ottawa's most architecturally distinguished addresses, an Art Deco-inspired residence by acclaimed architect Barry Hobin and Charlesfort Developments. Perched on a quiet promontory above the Ottawa River, the building offers a rare sense of calm overlooking the parkway, parkland and the Gatineau Hills, with beautiful nightly sunsets. This 1,110 sq ft, two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite has been meticulously maintained by its original owners. Hardwood runs throughout and large windows draw natural light into the open living and dining area. The galley kitchen opens onto the main living space, finished with granite counters, an undermount sink, stainless steel appliances and ample storage, with patio access and views toward Gatineau. The floor plan is intelligently designed for privacy, with each bedroom set in its own wing and served by its own full bathroom. The primary suite offers a generous vanity with granite counters and a stand-up shower; the second features a classic pedestal sink and tub. Both bedrooms offer spacious closets. In-suite laundry, a full entry closet, underground parking near the elevators and a storage locker round out the unit. Residents enjoy an exercise centre, amenities room and landscaped gardens connecting the two towers. The condo is well run with an active board, and monthly fees are competitive, covering heat, water and central air. All this, just steps from Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court, national museums, restaurants and both Lyon and Pimisi LRT stations. The neighbourhood's trajectory adds to the appeal. LeBreton Flats, at your doorstep, is being reimagined into a major mixed-use district anchored by a new NHL arena for the Ottawa Senators, alongside new restaurants, retail and public space, described as a true gathering place. For professionals and retirees alike, it signals sustained investment in this corner of downtown.
