This is one of the most unique family home opportunities in Guelph. If you crave country in the city, this is exactly what you are looking for. With a private backyard complete with updated perennial beds, walk-out patio, vegetable garden, and even a spot for a small flock both winter and summer. A charming home that still has its heart with NEVER PAINTED original oak trim and doors on the main floor, a grand staircase, ripple glass windows, and a traditional layout. All this with a detached 1.5 story period coach house (barn) at the back of the property that currently serves as a 1.5 car garage and storage. Although it maintains its knod to heritage, this isn't a museum but a practical family home that was a fun place to raise two kids over the past 30-year occupancy. Additions and upgrades include a third-floor loft with a huge A-frame window and skylights that bathe it in light, perfect for office space, a kid hang-out, or hosting the big game. An upgraded kitchen, second-floor sunroom, patio, veranda, and dining room provide lots of options for entertaining or just enjoying your morning coffee through all the seasons. Even though it is within a convenient five-minute walking distance to the university, the neighborhood has transitioned to family-occupied homes in recent years. Prestigiously located up on the hill with amazing large windows for the period with lots of sunshine, light and privacy. A beautiful, comfortable place to live that breathes home.
