96 Grove Street, Guelph

Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of towering mature trees, pouring a warm cup of coffee, and stepping out onto your private wrap-around porch as morning light hits the city skyline below. Nestled right beside the iconic 100 Steps and steps from St. George's Park, 96 Grove Street is a grand 1890 century red-brick home where historic soul meets effortless modern luxury.

Inside, soaring ceilings on both the main and upper floors amplify the light, while rich hardwood floors glow throughout. On crisp evenings, gather around the crackling wood-burning stove, with plenty of wood included for the winter ahead. The custom eat-in kitchen inspires with quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, and a wall oven, paired nearby with a main-floor mudroom, laundry, and updated 3-piece bath. Custom storage is tucked neatly under the stairs, while upstairs features four sunlit bedrooms and a spa-inspired 4-piece bath with a jacuzzi soaker tub and rainfall shower.Best of all, peace of mind comes built-in with essential infrastructure updates-including updated electrical and plumbing over the last 15 years-alongside a revived detached garage with new concrete pad, door, roof and a newly paved driveway (approx. 3 years), AC (approx. 4/5 years), roof (approx. 6 years), furnace (approx. 7 years). Walkable to downtown, rich in history, and completely turn-key-there is truly nothing left to do but move in and fall in love with 96 Grove.
