*** Legal basement!*** Welcome to this beautifully crafted backsplit, ideally situated in one of the south end's most desirable neighbourhoods. You enter into a bright and airy living and dining area, highlighted by continuous flooring throughout the main and an 18 foot cathedral ceiling, flanked by a west facing window that fills the space with natural light. The eat-in kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring granite countertops, modern all-white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a matching marble backsplash. The sunken family room is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, complete with a cozy gas fireplace beside a sliding glass door opening to the back deck. Just off the family room is a versatile space, usable as either a fourth bedroom or office, and it also includes the main floor laundry. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features ample space and a private 3-piece ensuite with a shower. The two additional good-sized bedrooms are complemented by the 4-piece main bathroom. The legal one bedroom in the basement (with separate entrance) adds either a valuable income, or could serve as a completely separated in-law or guest area. The nearby South End Community Centre, slated to open in the last half of 2026, adds even more to the desirability of this premium location.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $693/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.
Market Position
At 16 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Guelph.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
