The action
The one-year-old house has roughly 3,300 square feet of living space.Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty
The owners of this four-bedroom house had made extensive upgrades since buying it in early 2022 but were forced by circumstances to put it up for sale this summer. The two-storey house sits on a 60- by 110-foot corner lot in Russell, a small town 38 kilometres southeast of Parliament Hill. The first offer on the house fell through but a second, after some negotiation, was accepted at $37,500 under the asking price.
“It’s a more quiet and quaint community, and the home itself has been featured on several different social media sites since it’s really an outstanding home,” said agent Raymond Chin.
“With interest rates creeping [up], it was difficult to gauge how long it would take to sell, especially in a smaller community where there’s no quick turnover in the market we’re in.
“So, we were certain it would sell, but uncertain at what price and when it would sell.”

The agent’s take

“It’s such a unique home with a triple-car garage, and almost every square inch has been modified and customized, from the basement to the main and second floors,” Mr. Chin said.
“It’s a true turnkey home, from the exterior landscaping to the interior light fixtures and light switches, everything was customized.”
