Experience the perfect blend of 1915 historic character and modern versatility in this gable-roofed century home, ideally situated in downtown Guelph with excellent walkability and nearby transit access. Curb appeal is elevated by a cement and green “living” driveway—a permeable, eco-conscious parking solution that combines durability with natural aesthetics while assisting with stormwater management and groundwater recharge. The welcoming front porch leads into a bright, sun-filled interior showcasing original hardwood floors and well-proportioned living spaces. A spacious dining area flows into a cozy living room anchored by a classic red gas stove, creating warmth and character. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry, ample prep space, and a double gooseneck sink overlooking the side yard. A semi-finished mudroom offers future flexibility for storage or workspace customization. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is enhanced with custom built-in storage (8 drawers and 3 doors), thoughtfully designed to maximize the home’s historic footprint. A standout feature is the custom-built garage and studio (2020, $47K+)—professionally finished and equipped with an air-source heat pump providing assistive, energy-efficient climate control. Skylights and a loft bed/den make this an exceptional space for remote work, creative pursuits, or fitness use. Significant upgrades offer confidence and value: 2023: New professional roof ($6,275) and water softener 2022: Full bathroom renovation ($9,715) with subway tile and “peek-a-boo” shower window 2017: High-efficiency furnace, A/C, and water heater ($9,492) Ownership is estimated at approximately $2,420/month (P&I) based on 20% down, ~3.99% 5-year fixed rate, 25-year amortization (rates subject to qualification and change). A rare opportunity to secure a distinctive, upgraded downtown Guelph property with flexible living and working spaces. (id:2493)
