492 EPHRAIM Street
Kitchener, Ontario
2 bed • 2 bath • Single Family
This inviting home sits on a deep 150-foot lot and features an impressive oversized garage measuring 30' x 18'. The insulated garage includes additional side storage, its own 100-amp electrical panel, and separate entrance, making it ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or workshop use. A concrete driveway provides parking for four or more vehicles, while the expansive tree-lined backyard with no rear neighbours offers excellent privacy. The property also presents a unique development opportunity, with full approvals and permit fees already paid to convert the home into a duplex. There is also potential to add a third unit by converting the existing garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), subject to municipal approvals. Approved drawings and supporting documentation are available upon request. Inside, the open concept kitchen and dining area features granite counter tops, ample cabinetry, a double door storage closet, and walk-in pantry. The bright living room offers a large wall of windows with California shutters and updated flooring. A separate entrance leads to the finished basement, complete with a three piece bathroom and excellent potential for an in-law suite or additional living space. Recent updates include new flooring (making this home carpet free), an updated main floor bathroom, and fresh paint throughout. The high-efficiency gas furnace and central A/C, fully finished basement with pot lights, and upgraded sanitary main line (2024) conveniently located close to the expressway, schools, shopping, and public transit. Immediate possession available!
