This property features a classic red brick storefront located in the bustling and vibrant section of Bank Street, situated in the heart of Old Ottawa South. The property spans nearly 4,000 square feet, distributed over two above-grade floors, with an additional full-height basement that is also utilized for retail display purposes.

Situated in a well-established downtown community, the property is conveniently located just south of The Glebe and Lansdowne Park, and north of Billings Bridge, with close proximity to the Transitway.

A laneway off Chesley Street provides access to the rear of the property for loading and parking. This laneway is fully fenced and enclosed in the section directly behind this property, offering an additional 10 feet in depth which is currently used exclusively. Recent environmental assessments (Phase 1 and 2) conducted by Pinchin in 2023 confirm the property is clean. The interior features large open spaces and is equipped with two electrical services, including a 600-volt service. The property has been commercially rewired in the past, and various building modifications and improvements were undertaken. The property is equipped with two forced air furnaces, both featuring central air conditioning.
