32 Merritt Boulevard, Guelph

Welcome to 32 Merritt Blvd, a cozy home where modern updates meet eclectic charm, set on a spacious lot with a backyard retreat that feels worlds away. From first glance, the newly redone front porch (2024) seems to wave you inside, setting the stage for the warmth that follows — shaded by mature canopy trees and approached by a stone/pebble pathway and easy off-street parking. Step into the living room, the true heart of the home, where sunlight pours through the front-facing window and theres space enough to curl up with a book or gather with friends; the room also features deep-blue accent walls and custom built-in shelving that add character and smart storage. Wander toward the back, and the updated kitchen (2024) invites you in with its timeless two-toned cabinetry, textured tile backsplash, a skylight that brightens the space, gleaming stainless-steel appliances (including a substantial gas range and stainless fridge), open shelving and a butcher-block island/breakfast table beneath a bold green pendant light. The main floor continues with a renovated bathroom (2024) that feels spa-like, a glass rain shower framed by floor-to-ceiling stone and green-toned tile, and patterned black-and-white tile that adds just the right hint of character. Upstairs, the refinished hardwood floors (2025) tie everything together. In the primary bedroom, original beams and a bold feature light bring a sense of history and personality, while the secondary bedrooms, with their mid-century beams and views over the backyard, make the most of the soaring ceilings. In the basement, possibility opens up. A partially finished basement is ready to be whatever you need - a fourth bedroom, a home office, or a cozy hideaway for kids games and late-night movies. Then theres the backyard - the true storybook chapter. Gardens wind through rock borders and paths, leading to a whimsical treehouse for children and a chicken coop - perfect for fresh eggs in the morning and a touch of country living right at home; an arched vine-covered arbor and multiple garden rooms create private outdoor nooks, and French-style doors open directly to this lush setting. Life at 32 Merritt offers more than just a home; its being able to stroll downtown, catch the GO Train into the city, walk to parks and schools, and return each evening to the calm of a quiet, cul-de-sac street where kids still play outside safely. A home that blends character, comfort, and community - all in one address. (id:1945)
