Experience the perfect balance of 1915 historic character and modern versatility in this charming gable-roofed century home, ideally located in downtown Guelph with excellent walkability and convenient access to transit, shops, parks, and everyday amenities. Exceptional curb appeal is enhanced by a cement and green “living” driveway—a permeable, eco-conscious parking solution that blends durability with natural aesthetics while supporting stormwater management and groundwater recharge. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone and leads into a bright, sun-filled interior showcasing original hardwood floors and well-proportioned principal rooms. The spacious dining area flows seamlessly 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 customized storage or workspace and provides access to the rear sunken patio, ideal for outdoor grilling and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features thoughtfully designed custom built-in storage (8 drawers and 3 doors), maximizing the home’s historic footprint without sacrificing functionality. 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 configuration make this an exceptional space for remote work, creative pursuits, or fitness use. Significant updates add confidence and long-term 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) A rare opportunity to secure a distinctive, well-maintained downtown Guelph property offering flexible living and working spaces.
