Set on a Premium pie-shaped lot at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, this spacious 2-storey home offers incredible privacy while backing directly onto Windsor Park and a stone's throw to Guelph's Country Club golf course. With plenty of parking, a 2-car garage and a mature setting, this is a rare find in the city. The backyard is built for summer entertaining, featuring a heated 20' x 40' saltwater in-ground pool with stamped concrete surround and updated plumbing and liner ('18). The large covered deck with hydro sits high above the yard, offering beautiful views across the park and the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset or watching the game while the kids swim. Inside, the main floor features a living/dining room combination with a wood-burning fireplace, a family room with a custom live-edge built-in entertainment centre, main-floor laundry, and an additional bedroom or home office. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Updates include main-floor windows and doors ('17) and a 200-amp electrical panel ('20), rear soffit ('26), and furnace ('24). The basement is unfinished, and the kitchen is original, providing an excellent opportunity to add your own style and increase the home's value. With its exceptional lot, pool, privacy, and park-and-golf-course setting, this is a home where future improvements will be well worth the investment!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $540/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 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 $5,623 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
