Welcome to 159 Hawthorne Avenue, an absolutely charming home in the heart of Old Ottawa East, one of Ottawa's most vibrant and walkable neighbourhoods. Built in 1930 and lovingly cared for by the same owners for 43 years, this special 3-bedroom + den/office, 2-bathroom home is filled with warmth, character, and a lifetime of stories. A thoughtfully designed two-storey addition expands the home beautifully while preserving its original charm, with period-inspired details including wainscotting, crown mouldings, built-ins, and a reclaimed oak door. The kitchen was designed for those who love to cook and still be part of the conversation, opening to a bright family room and creating a wonderful flow for everyday living and entertaining, while the formal living room with gas fireplace offers a cozy place to unwind. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with generous closet space, including a light-filled primary bedroom and a spacious bedroom with cathedral ceilings and skylights, plus a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub. Outside, enjoy morning coffee beneath the majestic maple tree on the private front verandah or relax in the low-maintenance, fully fenced backyard with a charming curved boardwalk leading to private parking off the rear lane. And then there's location location location. Just two blocks from the Rideau Canal, with the Rideau River, trails, parks, cafés, restaurants, shops, the farmers' market, the Flora Footbridge, Lansdowne and the Glebe all within easy reach, this is a neighbourhood made for walking, biking and truly enjoying the city. Offering the energy and convenience of urban living with the warmth and connection of a true community, this is more than a charming place to call home, it's an opportunity to experience one of Ottawa's most loved neighbourhoods at its very best.

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
