122 ESSEX Street, Guelph, ON

THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! GORGEOUS LIMESTONE COTTAGE in the heart of downtown Guelph. If you love old homes and stone ones in particular, you must have a look at this beauty. Built around 1880, the home exudes the mystique and character reminiscent of the era. Modern updates have been carefully crafted complementing the timeless charm while creating new spaces to enhance today's lifestyle. An architectually designed addition has provided a stunning new kitchen, bathroom and mudroom entry. The original areas of the home envelop you in the ambience of the period with large principal rooms, original pine floors, high ceilings, deep window sills, and an interior stillness of peace and tranquility. The home sits on a large landscaped lot with beautiful gardens and trees. A recently installed steel roof will provide years of maintenance free living. Originally a 3 bedroom home, a new primary bedroom has been created from 2, but could easily be converted back again. The front bedroom is currently used as an office but has a Murphy bed for guests. Across the centre hall is a family room that could also be a bedroom if needed or a separate dining room. Adjoining this is the living room and current dining area with huge windows and lots of light. The location is perfect for a car free lifestyle. Royal City Park, walking trails, the Go Train, Bus Terminal, Farmer's Market, shopping and other amenities are nearby. It's only a 10 minute walk to Guelph's beautiful downtown with its heritage buildings, eclectic shops, superb restaurants, great pubs, a movie theatre, Library, cultural centre and sports arena. Guelph is home to a few of these iconic limestone gems but it's not often they come up for sale. This could be your grand lifestyle at 122 Essex Street and that of your great great great grandchildren as well. These homes were built to last for centuries !
