This well-built brick bungalow might just have more of what you're looking for. 16 Argyle Drive is a great package with a combination of space, flexibility and location to fit a variety of lifestyles. Step inside to a bright living room and eat-in kitchen where natural light flows throughout the main level. The fireplace in the living room will keep things cozy as the cooler nights approach. The main floor offers three bedrooms, including an oversized primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet featuring organized shelving and sliding doors leading directly to the fully fenced backyard. You'll also find an updated four-piece bathroom conveniently located on the main level. Downstairs, the finished basement brings two more bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom and plenty of room to spread out. A separate entrance adds even more flexibility, whether you need space for family, an in-law setup or want to explore the possibility of a registered basement apartment. Outside, enjoy summer days around the 15-foot heated octagon on-ground pool. The driveway accommodates up to four vehicles, and the 16' x 24' detached garage is fully insulated - offering plenty of room for parking, storage, hobbies and more. Practical extras include roof and furnace replaced in 2019, and the hot water tank and water softener are owned - a few less things to think about. The location makes everyday errands easy, with Stone Road Mall, restaurants, gas stations, pharmacies and plenty of other amenities close by. The 401 is easily accessible for commuters, and the University of Guelph is also within convenient reach. Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing, looking for an investment or simply want a home with room to adapt, 16 Argyle Drive is worth a look.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $745/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 22 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.

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 $3,416 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
