In short · from the listing record
252 Cowley Ave is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached house in Ottawa West/Tunneys Pasture, Ottawa, listed for sale at an asking price of $929,900 (MLS® X13757184).
Build in Champlain Park, zoned N3B[2159] under Ottawa's new Zoning By-law 2026-50. Frontage of 49.94 ft and depth of 133.82 ft gives 6,673.62 sq ft (0.153 acres). The Official Plan designates this an Evolving Neighbourhood, and City records place the property within a Major Transit Station Area. Roughly a ten minute walk to Tunney's Pasture station and the 49-hectare federal lands now moving toward redevelopment as a mixed-use community. Steps to the NCC riverfront pathways and Remic Rapids, minutes to Island Park Drive, Wellington West and Westboro. Downtown in under ten minutes. A rare fit for the small-scale builder working the new infill rules, the custom home buyer who wants a real rear yard on a 133 ft deep lot in a mature, tree-lined pocket, or the long-hold investor taking a position within walking distance of the largest redevelopment site in the inner city. Streets between Island Park and the river are tightly held and rarely trade.The existing 1935 dwelling is being sold for land value only.
