Renovation for homes in Ottewell
Most houses are 1950s and 60s bungalows on generous lots, many with original detached garages.
1950s and 60s bungalows are a favourite for full renovations: opening up the kitchen, finishing the basement or adding a second storey. Load-bearing walls and old wiring are the usual planning points.
On some lots a garden suite can go above or beside a detached garage, with City approval.
Turning an existing basement suite into a legal secondary suite needs permits, fire separation and egress windows.
