Tucked at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Guelph's Old University neighbourhood, 26 Maplewood Dr sits on an extraordinary 78 x 144 ft lot right next to a park. Walk through the park to Guelph Community Christian School, Centennial CVI and College Heights. The home has over 2,070 sq ft above grade plus 1,050 sq ft of finished basement, for more than 3,100 sq ft of living space. The main floor has a traditional layout with dedicated rooms for every part of life. The large living room has crown moulding and hardwood floors, with room to entertain, unwind and have a good conversation. A formal dining room with wainscoting sits next to the eat-in kitchen, where a bay window overlooks the yard. The family room off the kitchen is the spot for movie nights. It has built-in cabinetry and a walkout to the backyard. A main floor laundry room and 2-pc powder room complete this level. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, including a primary with a 2-pc ensuite, plus a 4-pc main bath. The finished basement adds a large rec room, an office/flex space, a den, a shower-only bath and a tonne of storage, including a cold room. Outside is where this property stands apart. Mature trees, an inground pool, an interlock patio and a pond with a water feature make a private backyard retreat. There's a single-car garage, parking for 2 more in the driveway and ample parking in the cul-de-sac. It's central to everything Guelph offers, with quick access to Stone Road Mall, downtown, the University of Guelph, the Hanlon and all major amenities. Lots this size, on a cul-de-sac next to a park, don't come up often in this part of the city.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $595/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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Guelph's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
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 4 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.
