Affordability continues to be a concern for those looking to get into the housing market, and rightfully so. Getting into the market can be tough - lower priced homes can come with a list of required updates, tough locations, and more risk than they are worth. If this sounds like your experience - you should look closer at this opportunity. With a legal purpose built accessory apartment, this home pays the owner $1775/month - cash. Imagine adding that to the top line of your income. A $4,000 monthly mortgage commitment just dropped 40%. Modern construction quality, updated, well maintained, and in a dynamite location - a quiet corner lot in Guelph's popular South End. Schools, shopping, and transit are all steps from your front door, with access to Hwy 6 and the 401. The people who land in this pocket tend to stay. This corner lot on a quiet street means fewer neighbours looking into your backyard, full sun on the deck, parking for 3 cars including an insulated garage, and enough room left over for guests. That combination is hard to find. Onto the important stuff. No fancy 'in law' language - this bungalow has 2 legal units, and it's designed with owner occupancy in mind. The basement apartment was professionally finished with permits in 2016 - separate side entrance, self-contained laundry, soundproofing, and ample storage. It doesn't feel like an afterthought, because it wasn't one. It's been rented and it works. The upper unit has 2 bedrooms, main floor living, rear deck and yard, and has 160 square feet of additional storage and laundry space. Home gym, office, overflow - you name it. What you're really buying here is flexibility. Live up, rent down, and let the asset work while you do. Or hold it fully as an investment - we can help with that. Either way, by the time you move in, you will be walking to dinner and collecting a monthly raise. This is a well-built, income-generating home in a part of the city that people keep choosing. Book a viewing. LiveHere.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1178/sqft, this property is priced above the Guelph average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Guelph's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Guelph are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
