Tucked away at the quiet dead end of Lyon Avenue in the heart of Exhibition Park, this renovated 5 bedroom home offers a rare opportunity in one of Guelph's most sought after neighbourhoods. Known for its mature tree lined streets, community feel, parks, schools, and walkability to downtown, homes on this street rarely come to market. Thoughtfully expanded and redesigned, the home blends timeless character with modern updates. The kitchen was completely reimagined in 2021 by Newlife Cabinetry Kitchens and showcases quartz and granite counters, a nearly 12 ft island with prep sink, full apron sink overlooking the backyard, oversized gas range with custom hood, built in appliances, and extensive custom cabinetry. Abundant windows and cabinet lighting enhance warmth and natural light. The foyer features cathedral ceilings, open to above design and built in cubbies. A French glass pocket door offers flexibility between the kitchen and great room. The dining area, highlighted by a large bay window overlooking the streetscape, flows from the kitchen and can also serve as a formal living space. Just steps down, the spacious great room offers custom built ins, detailed trim work, gas fireplace, garage access, walkout to the yard, and convenient 3 piece bath ideal for pool use. The private primary suite is set in its own wing with 12 ft ceilings, hardwood floors, lounge or office space, and a luxurious ensuite with heated floors, soaker tub, glass shower, granite double vanity, and custom built ins. Four additional bedrooms, upper laundry, and a spa inspired main bath complete the upper level. The backyard is a private retreat featuring a heated Gunite pool, conversation area, outdoor dining space, and raised garden beds ready for your green thumb. A partially finished lower level with high ceilings, framed space, rough in bath, storage, and cold room offers future potential. A rare opportunity; where location, luxury, and lifestyle come together seamlessly. (id:2493)
