Onward Willow is a quiet, family-friendly pocket of Guelph, and this 1949 bungalow sits on a deep 50x107 foot lot with mature gardens that wrap around a two-tier deck. Inside, you'll find 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,190 square feet, plus a full basement that's partially finished with a rec room and a 3pc bath. The main floor has been refreshed with a modern kitchen (stone counters, new appliances from 2021) and heated flooring in the dining room and sunroom. The four-season sunroom, added by Tropical Sunrooms in 2017, has a vaulted ceiling, roller shades, and a gas fireplace, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the yard even in winter. Original character shows in the aluminum and vinyl siding and the rollaway screen door at the entrance, but the mechanicals are current: A/C from 2017, furnace updated in 2016, and a brand-new washer/dryer installed in 2025. The lot is the real standout here, with enough space for gardening, play, or even a hot tub (which is included). You're minutes from the Guelph Farmers' Market and downtown (just over 2 km), with schools like GCVI and Our Lady of Lourdes within 1.5 km. Priced at $759,900, it's above the area's median sold price of $619,900, but the sunroom, heated floors, and finished basement add real value that's hard to find in a 2-bed bungalow this close to downtown. Listings in this area move at a reasonable pace, averaging 46 days on market.
