About this home

A charming stone home with the freedom of freehold ownership and the simplicity of a low-maintenance lifestyle-all in one of Downtown Guelph's most walkable and sought-after neighbourhoods. Welcome to 61 Essex Street, where local cafés, restaurants, and scenic river trails are just outside your door.The beautiful front garden welcomes you to an open-concept main floor designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into bright and inviting living spaces while engineered hardwood flooring and large newer windows fill the home with warmth and natural light. Thoughtful renovations throughout honour the home's timeless character while providing modern comforts.Off the kitchen you'll find a private, revitalized backyard that feels like a true extension of the living space. Featuring elegant herringbone tile, a newer fence, gate, privacy wall, and dedicated garbage enclosure, it's the perfect setting for morning coffee, summer dinners, or evenings spent with friends.Upstairs, 2 comfortable bedrooms and 1 full bathroom provide the ideal layout for professionals, downsizers, or first-time buyers. Whether you need a home office, guest room, or nursery the flexible second bedroom offers endless possibilities.Unlike condo living, storage is no concern here with the unfinished basement spanning the entire footprint of the home. Providing space for laundry, seasonal storage, and hobbies-far more practical than a storage locker.Major improvements include new windows (2024), furnace and A/C (2021), and eavestroughs, soffit, and downspouts (2026). With 1 dedicated off street parking space and free overnight street parking permitted year-round, there's flexibility for guests, partners, or households with 2 vehicles-another benefit that's hard to find in condo living.A home that offers all the walkability and convenience of downtown condo living, with the character, privacy, and freedom that only a historic home can provide.
