About this home

MORE THAN A HOME. A SMARTER WAY TO OWN IN UPTOWN WATERLOO. Welcome to 157 Dawson Street. A beautifully appointed home that pairs everyday comfort with exceptional flexibility. The charming front porch welcomes you in, while the abundant natural light create an airy, inviting main level. The spacious kitchen, two bedrooms and full bathroom offer convenient main-floor living, while upstairs features a private third bedroom, den and powder room. The finished lower level is where this property again shines, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, four-piece bathroom and its own separate entrance with an attached mudroom. Ideal for extended family, guests or rental potential, it offers an opportunity to create a valuable mortgage helper while maintaining separation from the main space. AND the location is hard to beat. Walk to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, Uptown Waterloo, restaurants, cafes, shopping and transit. A double car garage adds another layer of practicality and value. A lovely Waterloo home with the space, location and flexibility to make your investment work harder. Furniture included. **measurements as per previous Iguide
