1708 Franklin Boulevard, Cambridge

Welcome home to Hespeler, where small-town charm meets easy, comfortable living. Just a short stroll from downtown’s quaint shops, local restaurants, and a favourite ice cream parlour, this lovely all-brick semi-detached home is move-in ready. A sweet perennial garden greets you out front, framed by a newer, beautifully crafted armour stone retaining wall. There is plenty of space for family and guests, with a driveway that comfortably fits three cars. The spacious living room features a massive triple window that floods the entire space with natural light. It leads to the warm eat-in kitchen, which offers more than enough room for a large family table. Step through the patio doors onto your oversized back deck—complete with a gas BBQ hookup—and enjoy a fully fenced, private backyard that feels like your own peaceful retreat. The thoughtful layout continues upstairs with three bright, comfortable bedrooms and a full main bath. For added convenience, a separate side entrance opens directly to both the kitchen and the lower level. Downstairs, you will find a fantastic basement setup with a great-sized rec room perfect for movie nights or a dedicated kids' hangout space, along with a three-piece bathroom and a tidy laundry/utility room. Home maintenance is remarkably low stress here. The solid brick exterior offers lasting durability, and while the gorgeous mature trees around the perimeter provide a beautiful backdrop, you won’t have to worry about cleaning the gutters—a built-in leaf filter system takes care of it for you. Beyond the front door lies an incredible lifestyle. This home sits in a truly connected neighbourhood, just steps from the award-winning public library, the WG Johnson Recreation Centre with pool and programming, and minutes from scenic trails along the Speed River. In the summer, walk down to Queen Street to enjoy vibrant street dancing, family activities and dining. This is more than just a house; it is a place to truly feel at home. (id:1945)
