26 MARKET Street
Kitchener, Ontario
3 bed • 1 bath • Single Family
Stand in this backyard and you'd swear you were in the country, then walk two minutes and you're standing on the banks of the Grand River. This is Bridgeport: a former village that became part of Kitchener but never lost the feel, where quiet tree-lined streets end at the Walter Bean Trail and the city is somehow still ten minutes away. 26 Market St is the rarest thing in this market. A fully updated detached home with a massive yard at a price usually reserved for condos and townhomes. And the work here isn't cosmetic, it's documented: new siding, insulation, windows, soffit, fascia and eavestroughs in 2020, roof and driveway in 2021, then a full interior renovation finished in 2026. Brand new kitchen, brand new bathroom, new flooring and trim throughout, updated electrical and plumbing, new front door. Even the furnace got a new heat exchanger in 2025. Three bedrooms including a primary with a board-and-batten feature wall, plus an open-concept main floor with a sunken living room that gives this bungalow character new builds can't fake. Outside is where it wins you over completely: a deep, fully fenced yard under mature trees with a large deck, hard-top gazebo (2025), firepit, playset, and a separate shop (2022) with workshop or studio potential. Parking for four. Unfinished basement for storage or a future rec room. Walk to Bridgeport PS, the community centre and Kiwanis Park; five minutes to the expressway, ten to Uptown. Nothing left to do but move in, and nothing left to spend.
