Right around the corner from Conestoga College's Doon Campus (2.6 km), this two-storey brick and stucco house on a 40.2 by 115 ft lot backs onto green space. It's got 7 bedrooms total: 4 up, 3 in the basement. Upstairs you'll find a renovated kitchen with quartz counters and a big island, plus a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a fancy ensuite with a jetted tub and chromotherapy lighting. The main floor has a fireplace, and there's central vac and a water softener. But the real kicker is the basement: a city-approved second unit with a 2-bedroom rental suite, and on top of that, a separate 1-bedroom area. That's potential for rental income or multi-gen living. Outside, there's a double car garage and space for 6 cars total. The neighbourhood is quiet, with schools like Blessed Sacrament (5.5 km) and Huron Heights (3.6 km) nearby, plus big-box shopping at Costco (4.7 km) and Fairview Park Mall (5.6 km). Taxes run about $9,322 annually. Priced at $1,294,999, which aligns with the local median. This place has solid bones and income potential, but it's far from downtown Kitchener. If you need space and a mortgage helper, it's worth a look.
