About this home
Beautifully updated and versatile family home in Guelph's west end. Generous living space, a large fenced yard and City-approved self-contained accessory apartment. The main level is bright, stylish and designed for everyday family living. Vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace with stone surround create a dramatic focal point in the living and dining area, while the updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, sleek counters, stainless steel appliances and a sunny breakfast area overlooking the backyard. Just off the kitchen, the spacious family room offers a relaxed second living space with a walkout to the deck and yard. Main-floor also features a separate laundry room with access to garage and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, hardwood stairs lead to three comfortable bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom features two closets and its own ensuite, while the additional bedrooms offer great space for family, guests or a home office. Matching flooring throughout the second level, updated lighting and large windows give the entire floor a bright, cohesive feel. The lower level adds an entirely separate dimension to the home. The accessory apartment features its own covered exterior entrance, full kitchen, living area, bedroom and separate den, 4-piece bathroom and private laundry access. Fully self-contained, it offers outstanding flexibility for extended family, multi-generational living, adult children or additional income potential. The furnace/storage area and landing remain accessible for the main residence. Outside, enjoy a large fully fenced backyard with mature trees, established landscaping, deck and patio space - plenty of room to entertain, garden or let kids and pets play. Tons of parking with room for three cars in the driveway plus an attached double-car garage.
