24 Springfield
24 Springfield is one of Ottawa’s most distinctive schoolhouse conversions. Originally built in 1910 as École St. Charles, this red-brick landmark was transformed in the late 1990s into just 8 boutique loft-style residences known as Schoolhouse Square. The exterior maintains its classic academic charm, while the interiors feature soaring ceilings, oversized windows, exposed beams, and custom layouts. Many suites include hardwood floors, modern kitchens, and private outdoor spaces. Tucked into a quiet residential pocket just off Beechwood Avenue, it’s ideal for someone who values heritage, privacy, and a home that feels truly one of a kind.
