149 London Rd W is a wonderful example of a classic brick century home in Exhibition Park. Located between Lyon Ave and Kathleen St, this home is situated just a very short walk to Exhibition Park itself. As you approach, you're greeted with one of the best features of these homes: a cozy and private front porch best used to relax on a summer evening. Stepping inside through the front door, it is immediately clear that the current owners have truly loved this home. The spacious living room overlooks the porch and offers an abundance of natural light. Making your way towards the rear of the house, you will find a generously sized, renovated kitchen with eat in dining area featuring newer cabinetry, counter tops, flooring and appliances. Upstairs, you'll find the patina of beautiful original hardwood floors with two spacious bedrooms: the primary, larger than you'd expect with huge windows! The updated 4pc bathroom is very functional and clean with ample storage space. And as a bonus: There's even more storage on the 3rd floor loft! One of the great benefits of this house is the city-permitted basement finishes with side entrance that allow for an extra bedroom, small kitchenette area and bathroom for extra guests or a teenager retreat! It's even been fully waterproofed! Outside, the stunning backyard is where you will likely spend most of your time with a landscaped, flagstone covered yard perfect for entertaining or taking a bit of time for yourself. It also features a custom wood shed for additional storage. This side of London Rd is in the school zone for the historic Victory Public School. Multiple recent updates include electrical, plumbing and some windows. You do not want to miss this one! Open house Sat/ Sun 2-4pm

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.
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.
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.
About Exhibition Park
I know Exhibition Park well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Guelph 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.
