38 Callander Dr

Welcome to 38 Callander Drive, a charming 2+2 bedroom brick bungalow with a bright walk-out basement, set on a beautifully treed 80 × 119 ft. lot in a mature, family-friendly neighbourhood. Framed by established trees, the home welcomes you with a charming covered porch and an attached one-car garage.

Inside, the home exudes warmth and timeless elegance from the moment you enter, with solid plaster construction, beautiful crown mouldings, valance lighting and classic hardwood floors adding to its enduring character. A massive bay window creates a bright, inviting living room filled with natural light and lovely treed views. An abundance of southwest-facing glass across both levels draws in plenty of natural light, while mature pines and a red maple provide shade from harsh direct sunlight. The space flows seamlessly into the dining area, where another large bay window creates a beautiful setting for family dinners and entertaining guests.

The expansive kitchen offers abundant counter and cabinetry space, including pantry cupboards and a built-in wine rack. Two large windows keep the space bright, while a built-in workspace provides a convenient spot to organise recipes.

The spacious primary bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking the backyard—your own peaceful retreat for morning coffee or unwinding after a long day. A second generously sized bedroom and a five-piece bathroom with an expansive double-sink vanity and shower/tub combination complete the main floor.

One of this home’s standout features is its exceptionally bright walk-out basement. Oversized windows bring in an abundance of natural light, creating a welcoming space that feels like a natural extension of the home’s main living areas. The layout nearly mirrors the main level, with a spacious recreation room featuring a cozy fireplace and direct access to the back deck, two large bedrooms with generous windows, an additional 4-piece bathroom and a versatile bonus room ideal for an office or hobby space.

This flexible layout is perfect for a growing family, empty nesters wanting room for visiting family, or those looking to create a separate living space for extended family or multi-generational living. Adding to the comfort, the basement’s heating and cooling ductwork is set up to provide even, consistent temperatures and warmer floors throughout.

Excavated beneath the garage, a large workshop/storage area with a separate entrance offers the perfect space for hands-on projects, crafts and hobbies, with plenty of room to keep tools and supplies organized.

Outside, the backyard feels like a peaceful garden retreat, with towering trees, established planting beds and an expansive lawn. The newer deck, installed in 2019, features a wooden pergola and creates a lovely setting for summer dinners, weekend barbecues or relaxing beneath the leafy canopy. Concrete steps and a walkway provide convenient access to the lower level, while the generous yard offers plenty of room to garden, play or simply enjoy the natural surroundings.

A short stroll brings you to a shopping centre offering groceries, a library, dining options, a fitness centre, banking and more. Multiple schools and parks are within walking distance, while the nearby Victoria Road Recreation Centre offers swimming pools and skating rinks. With easy access to downtown Guelph, its restaurants, shops and GO Station, this location combines the charm of an established neighbourhood with everyday convenience.
