About this home
Welcome home to 8 Rosewood Ave, here in Guelph! Prepare to be impressed by this recently updated home, blending classic charm with modern upgrades. Extensively renovated in 2023, this property now features a massive two-story rear addition with a legal one bedroom basement apartment for income potential. Start your mornings or host evening chats with friendly neighbours on the spacious, full-width front deck. A deep double driveway offers plenty of parking and leads to a 24 x 24 detached garage--perfect for a workshop, studio, or extra storage. A stamped concrete walkway leads you to the generous backyard with concrete patio, tall private rear fence, enough grass to cut and even a fenced in side yard. The convenient side entrance is thoughtfully designed with custom built-ins and closets to keep daily life organized. The entry leads straight into a bright open-concept living and dining area. The focal point is a stunning wall of custom built-ins offering lots of storage, a cozy fireplace, and a built-in bar fridge-perfect for entertaining! The custom kitchen stays true to the style of the house with the front window and sink wall but adds a smart layout for the fridge with a pantry and tiled waterfall peninsula, giving space for family functions or a breakfast spot for the kids. Upstairs the split-level leads to a luxurious primary with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet and 4-piece bath, including a freestanding bathtub and glass shower. To the other side is a well-planned bedroom including a walk-in closet, with full laundry and plenty of closet space. A 4-piece bathroom with a custom-built shower makes this entire space feel like another primary. The basement space adds an in-law suite with its own kitchen, 3 piece bathroom and separate laundry in the storage and utility room. This Home stands alone and stands out in this area, close to schools, places of worship, Highway's 6 and 24, and near the Junction and Downtown.
