When life is transitioning fast, coming home should feel simple. That is exactly what this West End detached home offers; a soft landing where all the heavy lifting has already been done for you. Inside, the main floor feels bright and calm, finished with smooth ceilings, updated light fixtures, a stylish feature wall and fresh, neutral paint. The renovated kitchen is built for real life, featuring clean cabinetry, a contemporary tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and convenient island, making hosting or weekday meal prep easy. Beautiful hardwood floors run through the living and dining area, where sliding glass doors let in plenty of natural light and lead you out to the private, mature backyard. It is a fully enclosed space with a brand-new rear fence, where kids or dogs can play safely, while you unwind in the hot tub after a bbq dinner outside on the stone patio. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms are supported by three bathrooms across the home's levels. The finished basement adds a versatile space for a playroom, media room, home office, or teenage hangout. Even the practical details are ready for the future, including a newly drywalled and painted garage with an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, making it simple to set up an EV charger down the road. Located in an established, walkable neighbourhood, the home keeps daily routines uncomplicated. Walk the kids to Taylor Evans Public School, send teenagers to Guelph CVI, or if your kids are studying at University of Guelph, they can catch the bus from the stop right across the street for a quick 15 minute ride to the school. Keep the conveniences coming with Costco and Zehrs just down the street, while Stone Road Mall only a 7 minute drive down the Hanlon Expressway. With ample parking on the deep driveway, plus the garage, this is a home built to support real life; not just the highlight moments, but the quiet, in-between ones too.

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 20 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.
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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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.
