You're five minutes on foot from the GO station and downtown Guelph's shops and restaurants. The Sleeman Centre is a 15-minute walk, and Guelph General Hospital is less than a kilometer away. This post-war story-and-a-half sits on an 87-foot wide lot, a rarity for the area. The house itself is modest: 3 beds, 1 bath, about 1,500 sq. ft. of living space. Hardwood floors run through the main level, and it's carpet-free throughout. The main floor has a bedroom, convenient for guests or a home office. Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms sharing the one bathroom. The lower level is partially finished with a rec room, office, and laundry. The kitchen is dated but functional, with a large picture window in the living room letting in decent light. There's a covered back deck (8'8"x9'8") for your morning coffee. Parking is a single driveway that fits up to 5 cars, and there's no garage. The roof was re-shingled in 2022, and the furnace is gas forced air. Property taxes run about $3,691 annually. The lot is level and irregular, so there's room to expand the house or add a garage at the back. St. George's Park is close by if you want pickleball or tennis. The King George School catchment for French immersion is a draw for families. Listed at $699,900, which matches the local median. It's one of 6 aktive listings near here, and homes sell in about 41 days on average. Solid bones, great location, needs some cosmetic updates. Good for a first-time buyer or someone wanting to be near downtown without the condo life.
