This distinctive stone cottage- originally built in 1880- was thoughtfully expanded in 1994 with a spacious two-storey addition to meet the needs of modern family living. Ideally situated in the heart of downtown Guelph, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of historic character and contemporary comfort that is nestled on a generous lot with parking for four vehicles and the potential to build a garage or workshop. The main floor offers a warm and inviting layout, featuring a bright living room within the addition, a spacious eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, office, and a cozy sunroom- a fantastic space to unwind with your morning coffee or a favourite book. You will also find two well-appointed bedrooms, including the primary suite, a full 4-piece bathroom, and an enclosed porch, all contributing to a functional and versatile main level. The second-storey addition includes four additional, well-sized bedrooms and a second 4-piece bathroom, providing ample space for growing families or guests, while the partially finished basement extends the living area with a recreation room, perfect for movie nights, a games room, or a childrens play area. Step outside to enjoy the large deck and fully fenced backyard with mature trees, offering a peaceful setting for entertaining, gardening, or play. With over 2,600 square feet of living space, this home is ideal for growing families seeking charm, modern livability, and unbeatable walkability.
