McKellar Heights…not to be mistaken with McKellar Park…is a hidden gem of a neighbourhood in Central Ottawa. People move here and never leave so it is rare to have a house for sale in this area. Turns out though…we do! 1805 Kerr Avenue is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath bungalow which has been totally renovated top to bottom. Be sure to have a look and let us know what you think.
