About this home

A condo that genuinely feels like home-spacious, sun-filled, and beautifully appointed in one of Guelph's most desirable communities. Offering the generous scale and livability of a full-sized home, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, carpet-free residence at Parkview Terrace combines space, comfort, and flexibility. A welcoming foyer with generous closet space leads to spacious living and dining areas filled with natural light. Modern flooring, a gas fireplace, updated lighting, and a soft neutral palette create an inviting setting, complemented by a cohesive, freshly painted interior. Large windows capture beautiful morning light, while the private balcony overlooks a peaceful, tree-lined street, with Bristol Street Park-one of Guelph's favourite dog parks-within sight. The kitchen pairs white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances with an elegant quartz countertop and backsplash for a clean, seamless aesthetic. A cozy breakfast nook provides comfortable everyday dining, with convenient in-suite laundry tucked away. The spacious primary bedroom is a true retreat, with two large windows, dual closets, and plenty of room for a king-sized bedroom suite. The private ensuite features a tub, separate shower, recently upgraded contemporary vanity, and coordinating mirror. The bright second bedroom adds valuable versatility-ideal as a guest room, home office, den, or hobby space. It is conveniently positioned beside the second full bathroom with stand-up shower, stylish new vanity, and plenty of storage. Parkview Terrace offers a welcoming community atmosphere with just four suites per floor, plus a rooftop terrace and BBQ area, sauna, gym, party room, and pet-friendly setting.
