Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of towering mature trees, pouring a warm cup of coffee, and stepping out onto your private wrap-around porch as morning light hits the city skyline below. Nestled right beside the iconic 100 Steps and steps from St. George's Park, 96 Grove Street is a grand 1890 century red-brick home where historic soul meets effortless modern luxury. The expansive grounds are a true bird watcher's paradise, framed by lush gardens, custom planting boxes, and a canopy of shade so serene that even the local chipmunks will eat right from your hand.Beyond its storybook charm lies incredible versatility. Set on a large lot with room for a future ADU or garden suite, the home features a convenient separate entrance to the upper level-ideal for income suite, in-law setup, or seamless single-family living. Inside, soaring ceilings on both the main and upper floors amplify the light, while rich hardwood floors glow throughout. On crisp evenings, gather around the crackling wood-burning stove, with plenty of wood included for the winter ahead. The custom eat-in kitchen inspires with quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, and a wall oven, paired nearby with a main-floor mudroom, laundry, and updated 3-piece bath. Custom storage is tucked neatly under the stairs, while upstairs features four sunlit bedrooms and a spa-inspired 4-piece bath with a jacuzzi soaker tub and rainfall shower. Best of all, peace of mind comes built-in with essential infrastructure updates-including updated electrical and plumbing over the last 15 years-alongside a revived detached garage with new door, roof and a newly paved driveway (approx. 3 years), AC (approx. 4/5 years), roof (approx. 6 years), furnace (approx. 7 years). Walkable to downtown, rich in history, and completely turn-key-there is truly nothing left to do but move in and fall in love with 96 Grove.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $850/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Guelph market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
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.
