83 Harvey Street
A Piece of Ottawa East History, With a Backyard Retreat to Match
Tucked into the heart of Old Ottawa East, 83 Harvey Street is the kind of home that reminds you why people fall in love with this neighbourhood in the first place. Built circa 1882, this 1.5 storey detached home has stood for well over a century, and it wears its age beautifully. Character and history are woven into every corner, from the high ceilings on the main level to the thoughtful updates that bring old world charm into step with modern comfort.
Character You Can Feel the Moment You Walk In
Step inside and you will notice it right away. This is not a cookie cutter renovation. It is a home that has been cared for and updated with intention, balancing warmth and personality with everyday function. The mudroom alone is worth mentioning, with custom cabinetry that makes daily life easier without sacrificing any of the home's charm.
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across approximately 1,100 to 1,500 square feet, the layout is comfortable and livable, the kind of space where every room feels intentional rather than oversized for the sake of it.
The Backyard Is the Real Showstopper
Here is where 83 Harvey Street sets itself apart. The backyard is a rare find in this established part of the city, and it was clearly designed for people who love to gather, relax, and spend time outdoors.
There is an inground pool for those long summer days, a private sauna for year round unwinding, and an expansive deck built for hosting. Add in the lush perennial gardens, and you have an outdoor space that feels more like a private retreat than a typical city backyard.
Room to Grow
The lower level is unfinished, which means there is a generous amount of storage right now, plus real potential for whoever wants to make this space their own down the road.
