703 - 429 SOMERSET STREET W

4102 - Ottawa Centre Ottawa K2P 2P5

OPEN HOUSE: Saturday April 4th, 2-4PM. Some of the best condos in Centretown are hidden gems. Welcome to Unit 703 at The Strand. Step inside and you'll find one of the most thoughtfully renovated 1-bedroom condos downtown - a fully transformed space with value that is hard to beat. The kitchen was redesigned in 2021: enlarged storage, floor-to-ceiling white flat-panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, porcelain backsplash, a striking dark island with built-in dishwasher, and a full suite of stainless appliances. Wide-plank premium flooring (2021) runs seamlessly throughout, and the bathroom features a refreshed vanity with quartz countertop. This is not a cosmetic refresh it's a genuine, high-quality renovation. At 715 sq ft, the open-concept layout is one of the larger 1-bedroom footprints you'll find downtown, with room for a proper dining table, a full living room setup, and a private balcony. The bedroom stretches nearly 15 feet, offering plenty of room for a dedicated home office setup. The unit also includes underground parking and a storage locker - many comparable listings in this price range simply don't offer. Condo fees of $466/month cover heat, cooling, and water - among the most competitive you'll find downtown. What you get with those fees: a BBQ courtyard, bike storage, car wash area, party room, and nine visitor parking spaces. The building has also been actively investing in infrastructure: new HVAC (2021), upgraded entrance (2025), new entry system (2026), garage improvements (target April 2026), and elevator modernization (target Fall 2026). Located at Somerset and Kent in the heart of Centretown, you're steps from a grocery store, Bank Street restaurants and cafés, the Rideau Canal, and the Glebe. Lyon LRT is a short walk away.An exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, or investors who want a move-in-ready downtown condo with real upgrades, real space, and real value.
