Discover your storybook home in one of Downtown Kitchener's most beloved neighbourhoods! This charming 1.5-storey detached home beautifully blends the character of the 1940s with numerous modern updates, including all-new colonial-style windows throughout.

The spacious living room boasts a decorative fireplace, while the separate dining room showcases a stunning stained-glass window and French doors that lead to the kitchen. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a stylish backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar with stools (included), and windows overlooking the side and back yards. Just around the corner is a convenient laundry/mudroom, complete with a folding counter, sink, storage cabinets, and easy access to the yard. Upstairs, you'll find the spacious primary bedroom with a cozy dormer window seat, a home office that could also make for a wonderful gallery space or nursery, and an updated 4 pc bath with a deep tub, glass shower screen, and a vintage pedestal sink. The second bedroom is also generously sized and includes a unique den/sitting room that could also serve as a walk-in closet. The lower level boasts a finished rec room with pot lights and a charming play area, along with a 3-piece bathroom that includes a walk-in shower, an antique wood vanity, and heated floors. The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring beautiful mature trees, a fully fenced yard, a patio, and an artificial turf lawn for easy maintenance. There's plenty of parking available, including a single-car garage and a double-wide concrete driveway.
