The Strand | Residence 511

| Residence 511 at The Strand |

Some downtown condos give you the location. Others give you the space. Residence 511 at The Strand manages to do both, and does it beautifully.

Set in the heart of Centretown, this thoughtfully renovated 1-bedroom + den offers a surprisingly generous layout, stylish updates and all the practical extras that make everyday life easier. It’s the kind of condo that feels less like a compromise and a lot more like home.

The kitchen was completely renovated in 2021 and is easily one of the highlights. Crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a beautiful backsplash create a fresh, timeless look, while the oversized peninsula adds loads of prep space, storage and casual seating. Morning coffee, dinner for two or friends gathered around with a bottle of wine, this is a kitchen designed to actually be lived in.

The open living and dining areas offer something increasingly difficult to find downtown: room. There’s space for a proper dining table, a comfortable living room and furniture you don’t have to buy in miniature. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, while engineered hardwood flooring installed in 2020 gives the principal living spaces a warm, cohesive feel.

The den is another standout. Rather than borrowing a corner of the living room for a desk, you have a dedicated space for a proper work-from-home setup. Even better, the existing Murphy bed can be included, allowing the den to easily pull double duty when friends or family stay over.

The generous primary bedroom offers excellent closet space and room for a full bedroom suite, while the beautifully renovated 2021 bathroom features large-format tile, a contemporary vanity and glass shower enclosure.

Step outside onto your private balcony for a little fresh air above the city, or leave the car downstairs and head out on foot. Your underground parking space is exceptionally convenient, located just inside the garage entrance, and a storage locker and in-suite laundry round out the package.

Condo fees are a reasonable $505.35 per month and include heat and water. Residents of The Strand also enjoy a peaceful courtyard with BBQ terrace, party room, bike storage, car wash station and visitor parking.

And then there’s the location.

Living at Somerset and Kent puts Centretown quite literally outside your door. Walk for groceries or coffee, head over to Bank Street for dinner, meet friends for drinks without thinking about parking, or make your way to the Glebe, Rideau Canal, Parliament Hill or downtown offices. Lyon LRT is also within easy reach.

It’s the kind of location that lets you use your car when you want it, rather than because you need it.

Beautifully updated, exceptionally functional and offered at $399,900, Residence 511 delivers the downtown lifestyle without asking you to give up the things that make a home comfortable.

1 bedroom + den. Underground parking. Storage locker. Private balcony. In-suite laundry. Beautiful renovations. One seriously good Centretown location.

Welcome home.
