Beautifully updated 1.5-storey, 3-bed, 2-bathroom home in one of Guelph's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Set on a generous 51ft x 132 ft lot, this thoughtfully updated home offers comfort, character, and a long list of improvements done right.The standout update is a full main floor transformation (2020) - the space was opened up to create a bright, open-concept layout, complemented by a fully renovated kitchen with quartz countertops, new appliances, and new flooring. The basement features a beautifully updated laundry room and a new 3-piece bathroom added to the rec room. Since then, the home has been consistently maintained and improved: EV-ready outlet in the garage (2021), new garage door system (2022), new bay and slider windows (2023), bedroom windows (2025), and a new back deck (2025).The lot itself is a highlight - mature, well-kept, and sizeable for the area, with a gazebo for outdoor living. The neighbourhood is equally appealing: close to multiple schools, Riverside Park, the Speed River, a nearby golf course, and convenient shopping, all within a community known for its pride of ownership.A move-in ready home in an incredible location. You don't want to miss this one!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $772/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 44 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.
About Riverside Park
I know Riverside 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 $3,538 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
