Ashmont Homes Inc.

Description of Ashmont Homes, Inc. in Ottawa, ON

An eminently walkable home in a prestige neighborhood, at a lower cost for a LARGE suite.

We are not professional sales people but rather a husband and wife, Paul and Kim who have available privately owned condominiums located very close to the Queensway (Hwy 417) for rapid transportation throughout Ottawa. These are located within a provincially licensed retirement home in the centre of Ottawa at the north end of The Glebe, Ottawa's second most prestigious neighbourhood after Rockcliffe. This retirement home is located one block away from the Rideau Canal or two blocks from the Canadian Museum of Nature (AKA "the Stone Castle") or one block from the shops of Bank Street (an old-style main street with small shops that continue to thrive). Neighbours next door include a large modern grocery store, LCBO and bank with investor services.

We purchased these condominium homes a decade ago for family members when the building was only an architectural drawing and an ice warehouse stood on the spot. The project was delayed and in the interim our family members' circumstances changed and we inadvertently became landlords to two great senior couples.

Because we own the suites, we offer lower rents and better attention to detail than most retirement homes. The suite is attached to a retirement home; this means that all of the same social activities and many retirement home services are included and additional services are also available.

Unlike most institutional retirement homes, our suites are complete 2-bedroom apartments, with two full bathrooms, full kitchen, private solarium (some have two solaria), hardwood floors, granite counter-tops, walk-in-closet and in-suite storage room.
