Room to grow, a backyard you'll never want to leave, and McLennan Park just a short stroll away. This raised bungalow in family-friendly Laurentian Hills is freshly painted and move-in ready, with the big-ticket items already taken care of: new furnace and central air (2026), new eavestroughs (2025) and newer front windows (2023). The main floor offers three bedrooms on one level, a 4-piece bath, a living room with a big bay window, a separate dining room for family dinners and an eat-in kitchen with plenty of counter space. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level is the cozy hub of the house, with a rec room, stone fireplace and wet bar, a second full bathroom, laundry, storage and a mudroom with inside entry from the attached garage. Thinking long term? Zoning permits an additional dwelling unit, and with a separate side entrance, a full bathroom and a wet bar already in place, the lower level is a natural fit for an in-law suite or a rental unit to help with the mortgage. Out back, the fenced yard is a private retreat shaded by mature trees, with a stone patio, tiered gardens, a pond with waterfall, a garden shed and plenty of lawn for the kids to run. Walk to elementary schools and McLennan Park's splash pad, playgrounds, trails and toboggan hill, with shopping, transit and quick Conestoga Parkway access all close by. A wonderful place to put down roots.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $636/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Kitchener'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 Kitchener 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.
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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Kitchener properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,916 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
