Welcome to 204–200 Woolwich Street, an exceptionally rare loft-style rental in one of Downtown Guelph’s most iconic heritage buildings. This stunning bi-level, two-bedroom residence is located within St. Paul’s Cathedral, a landmark 1908 stone church that has been thoughtfully restored into an exclusive boutique collection of only seven residences. Opportunities to rent in a building of this calibre are incredibly limited, making this a truly special place to call home.

This spacious loft seamlessly blends historic character with modern comfort, all within one of the city’s most walkable and vibrant neighbourhoods. With so few residences in the building, tenants enjoy a quiet, private atmosphere that feels worlds away from typical downtown living.

Inside, the home impresses immediately with soaring 10-foot ceilings, solid hardwood flooring, and expansive east-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. The main living area is both grand and welcoming, offering ample room for entertaining, working from home, or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Thick original brick walls provide excellent sound insulation, creating a peaceful retreat above the energy of downtown Guelph.

The modern kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of brand-new stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is perfectly sized for casual meals or hosting friends. A stylish two-piece powder room completes the main level, ideal for guests.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with double closets and skylights that bring in warm, natural light throughout the day. The four-piece bathroom includes a large vanity and a full tub and shower combination. In-suite laundry with a newer washer and dryer adds everyday convenience.

The thoughtful two-storey layout offers excellent separation between living and sleeping areas. This is ideal for professionals working from home, couples with different schedules, or tenants who value both functionality and privacy. The unit has been freshly painted throughout and includes a newer hot water tank, making it completely move-in ready.

Residents also enjoy access to a secluded shared courtyard. This is a charming space to unwind with a barbecue, enjoy a drink, or relax under the stars. The unit includes one dedicated parking space, two additional shared guest spots, and easy access to public transit just steps from the front door.

The location is second to none. Situated in the heart of Guelph, you are steps from Downtown cafés, bakeries, pubs, restaurants, the public library, and the Guelph Farmer’s Market. The GO Transit and VIA Rail stations are within walking distance, making this an excellent option for commuters. Cultural landmarks such as the River Run Centre, Bookshelf Cinema, and Sleeman Centre are just minutes away. Scenic riverside walking and biking trails are practically across the street, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and pet owners alike.

This is more than just a home; it’s a lifestyle, a statement, and a rare opportunity to live inside one of Guelph’s most treasured architectural landmarks, without sacrificing modern comfort or convenience.
