Space to grow. A neighbourhood you'll never outgrow. If you've been waiting for a home that gives your family more room without leaving behind the community you love, 255 West Acres Drive is worth a closer look. Set in one of Guelph's most established family neighbourhoods, this is where kids still ride their bikes, neighbours know each other by name, and parks, great schools, shopping, and quick highway access are all just minutes from your front door. Inside, the layout is designed for the way families actually live. Three bedrooms are located upstairs, including a spacious primary suite with its own ensuite bathroom, while the finished basement adds a fourth bedroom and extra living space that's perfect for a growing family, guests, or a home office. With three bathrooms, a cozy family room featuring a gas fireplace, and a bright sunroom, there's plenty of room to gather together or enjoy a little quiet time. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is ready for everything from summer barbecues and family celebrations to kids playing, pets exploring, and evenings spent relaxing on the beautiful deck. It's a backyard you'll use just as much as the home itself. The major updates have already been taken care of, including a new furnace, A/C and heat pump (2024), new front-facing windows and front door (2025), and a new washer and dryer (2025), giving you peace of mind from day one. More space, an established neighbourhood, and the updates already done. If your family has outgrown your current home but you're not willing to compromise on location or lifestyle, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $583/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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Guelph. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
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.
