Welcome to 19 Walter Street, a charming 1.5storey-detached home hidden away in one of Guelph's most historic, eclectic, and vibrant communities: The Ward. Offered for the first time in 24 years, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home packs over 1000 sq/ft of character, updates, and unmatched privacy on a short, peaceful street where extremely friendly neighbors look out for one another. Step inside a spacious foyer with ample room for seasonal gear before entering a bright main level where beautiful hardwood floors catch the morning sun through expansive windows and high ceilings create an airy, open feel. Tech lovers will appreciate that all rooms feature computer CAT5 outlets for seamless networking. The entire main floor is fully wired for audio right from the living room control panel, letting you direct sound to the back of the house or right into the updated 4-pc family bathroom. Home cooks will love the efficient kitchen with generous counter and cabinet space, flowing directly into a dedicated dining area featuring a cozy gas fireplace. Walk out to your private sunroom overlooking a breathtaking, fully fenced backyard framed by a meticulously maintained 24-year-old cedar hedge and a mature fruit tree-a tranquil local sanctuary regularly visited by songbirds, rabbits, chipmunks, and squirrels. Plus, a covered rear roof ensures rain never foils your summer BBQs! Upstairs, you will find two bright, spacious bedrooms with great closet space, including a primary complete with its own convenient 2-pc ensuite bathroom. Downstairs, the high and dry basement offers clean, abundant storage for all your seasonal needs. Outside, enjoy the added convenience of a detached 1-car garage and lots of driveway parking space. Beyond the home itself, the location is unbeatable for walkability and lifestyle. Stroll just minutes to Downtown Guelph, the GO Transit station, Lost Aviator Coffee, Angelino's Italian Market, Royal City Brewing Co., York Road Park, and the Eramosa River Trail

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $914/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Guelph market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Market Position
At 43 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.
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.

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 $2,666 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
