Property Description

Welcome to 166 Waterloo Avenue, a beautifully updated 4-bedroom red brick century home that blends timeless charm with modern comfort in one of Guelph’s most desirable central locations.

You’re welcomed by a charming enclosed sunroom—an inviting space to enjoy your morning coffee while keeping coats and shoes neatly tucked away.

Inside, glass-panelled French doors open to a bright and airy living and dining space, where high ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows fill the home with natural light.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with crisp white cabinetry, a stylish backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and leathered granite countertops.

Upstairs, solid wood stairs lead to three spacious bedrooms, each featuring hardwood flooring and large windows. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a sleek quartz vanity and a tiled shower/tub combination. A large walk-in closet offers the potential to be converted into an ensuite, with plumbing already behind the wall.

The upper loft level adds incredible flexibility, with two areas that can be used as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom, or secondary living space, perfect for growing families or guests.

The finished basement extends the living space with a large recreation room, complete with a gas stove that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. With a separate side entrance and a full bathroom, this level offers excellent potential for an in-law suite or income opportunity.

Step outside to your private, fully fenced backyard, complete with a deck overlooking your beautiful perennial gardens and mature trees—ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying quiet evenings. The detached garage, along with ample driveway parking, adds everyday convenience.

This home has been well maintained with key updates including windows (2010 & 2017), plumbing and sewer line (2015), 100 amp electrical (2015), roof (2021 with 20-year warranty), water softener (2017), hot water tank (2022), and deck (2015).

Located just around the corner from the Royal Recreation Trail along the river, and only a short stroll to downtown Guelph, you’ll enjoy easy access to restaurants, boutique shops, nightlife, entertainment, the GO Station, as well as nearby parks and schools. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled home with modern updates, income potential, and an unbeatable location.

The only question of timing on the window replacements before 2015 was provided by our neighbours. There are a couple that were 2017. (We purchased).

Every inclusion on the list is owned and not rented. There is no rental in the house.
