A classic Guelph red-brick home, thoughtfully reimagined for the way we live now.Set in one of the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods, 40 Lyon brings together the best of old and new. Original hardwood floors, pocket doors, wood trim and a beautifully detailed grand staircase preserve the character and craftsmanship of the home, while a thoughtful renovation introduces a calm, contemporary sensibility throughout. Inside, long sightlines draw you through the main floor and all the way to the backyard, creating a sense of openness that is both unexpected and inviting. The living room is layered with character. A fireplace anchors the space, flanked by built-in cabinetry and a generous front window. Pocket doors lead into the dining room, where soaring ceilings, original wood-framed windows and a custom built-in china cabinet set an effortless backdrop for long dinners and evenings spent around the table. At the centre of the home is the kitchen - bright, generous and designed with gathering in mind. Part of the 2015 addition, the space is wrapped in windows and natural light, with a substantial island at its centre. It's the kind of room that naturally becomes the place everyone ends up. A dedicated mudroom and laundry room complete the main level, offering the practical function a family home needs. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms share a four-piece bathroom, while the primary suite is tucked privately beyond its own hallway entrance. A large walk-in closet, two additional closets and a beautifully finished three-piece ensuite create a true retreat - quiet, comfortable and removed from the rhythm of the rest of the house. Then, tucked above it all, is the attic. Finished and full of possibility, it can become whatever the next chapter calls for: a playroom, studio, office, music room or creative space.And the location is hard to beat. From 40 Lyon, Exhibition Park, Market Fresh and the restaurants, shops and energy of downtown Guelph are all within easy reach.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $660/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.
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.
About Exhibition Park
I know Exhibition Park well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. 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 $5,500 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
