Set on a 39.95 ft by 134.83 ft lot, 1252 Dorchester benefits from R4UC zoning, which permits the construction of a low-rise apartment building with up to 8 units as of right, and the potential for up to 12 units with a minor variance. The sites size, zoning, and proximity to transit and neighbourhood amenities make it an attractive prospect for investors and developers looking to maximize Ottawas growing demand for infill housing. At the same time, the existing two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-and-a-half-storey home with a detached garage offers comfortable living in a family-friendly community. Residents will appreciate being just steps to Alexander Park, W.E Gowling Public School, and the Experimental Farm pathway, while enjoying the quiet setting of an established neighbourhood. Whether you're seeking an immediate redevelopment project or a home with long-term potential, this property delivers rare flexibility in a prime urban setting.
