Legal Duplex in the Heart of Downtown Guelph! If you've been dreaming of homeownership with built-in financial flexibility, this legal duplex in Guelph's vibrant downtown core is the kind of opportunity you don't want to miss. Live in one unit and rent out the other to help offset your mortgage, or hold as a smart long-term investment in one of the city's most desirable locations. The main unit is full of charm and character, offering a spacious eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a bright front living room with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a bonus office or den perfect for anyone working from home, along with a functional 4-piece bathroom. A cozy sunroom adds bonus living space during the warmer months, bringing even more flexibility to the layout. The second unit is a comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a generous living room, compact galley kitchen, and a practical 3-piece bathroom. Both units are carpet-free for easy maintenance and everyday living. While the property could benefit from some updates, the solid bones and versatile floor plan make it easy to add value over time. Outside, you'll appreciate parking for two vehicles and a beautifully maintained side yard with mature perennials and shrubs, a private spot to relax or entertain on summer evenings. Best of all, you're just steps to everything downtown Guelph has to offer, including the Farmers Market, The Bookshelf, Fixed Gear Brewing, shops, restaurants, and the GO Train & VIA Rail. Whether you're an investor, renovator, or first-time buyer looking to live in one unit while renting the other, this is a rare chance to secure a legal duplex in a prime location where community and convenience come together.
