About this home

There's something special about a home that has been cared for over the years-and still leaves room for you to make it your own. Welcome to 209 Franklin Street S., a solid brick 1,032 sq.ft. bungalow on a generous 52' x 132' lot in Kitchener's established Fairview/Kingsdale neighbourhood. Step inside and you'll find a bright, comfortable home with the character of a classic bungalow. A large front window fills the living room with natural light, while crown moulding and an easy-flowing one-level layout create a welcoming place to call home. The bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, and the spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and workspace, with potential to refresh or reimagine to suit your style. Downstairs, the full basement with a separate entrance extends the possibilities. With approximately 438 sq. ft. of finished lower-level space, plus unfinished space, laundry and storage, there is flexibility for recreation, hobbies, extended family or future improvements. Outside may be where this property truly surprises you. The deep backyard offers mature trees, a large lawn, patio, fencing and storage shed-room for barbecues, gardens, kids or pets to play, or simply a quiet place to relax. A private driveway provides parking for up to four vehicles. And then there's the location. Shopping, schools, parks and public transit are nearby, with convenient connections to Fairway Road, Fairway Station and the ION LRT, Highway 7/8 and the broader Kitchener-Waterloo area. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a home to grow into, a right-sizer who appreciates bungalow living, or someone who sees the potential in a solid home on a mature lot, 209 Franklin Street S. offers something increasingly difficult to find: good bones, genuine outdoor space, an established neighbourhood and the freedom to make it uniquely yours. Come see the possibilities-and imagine what the next chapter could look like here.
