Description

Well-maintained older home with new garden room, large lot and mature trees, just a short 5 minute walk to U of Guelph campus. Updated kitchen; two bedrooms (queen, double); 2 1/2 baths; fully finished basement with office space and sitting/tv lounge; main floor living room, dining room, and 14x15’ garden room (perfect for writing and unwinding!). Guelph is a walkable mid-sized city. Hike to the U of G arboretum or the river in 10 minutes, walk downtown to a local pub or the train station in 20 minutes, travel to nearby rural communities and conservation areas, hike the Niagara escarpment and Bruce Trail, take in world-class theatre in Stratford or Niagara, visit Hamilton and KW (less than an hour’s drive or use GO bus connecting universities), or walk to the station & take the GO train directly to downtown Toronto (1.5 hr) to save traffic and parking hassles. This is a mixed neighbourhood of detached homes with families and young children, retired folks, and students - busier at some points in the school year (e.g., September, April) and quite quiet at other times.
