Charming Century Home In Old University | There’s that house on that street, you know the one. The beautiful one that lights up at night and you can smell the wood smoke on a winter’s evening. The one that looks like it should be featured in movies, with its beautiful gardens and its almost magical curb appeal. With over a 1/2 acre of the property there is room for a future hockey rink and a pool and still have room to keep the beautiful gardens. It’s like having your own private park in your backyard, like living in the county when you are in the city. 65 College is one of the most welcoming homes I’ve had the honor of stepping into. The incredible views from the kitchen and 2nd-floor primary bedroom makes you feel like you are at the cottage. The original portion of this home dates back to 1860 and there are lifetimes of memories here.

As you enter the front foyer, you are greeted by the immaculate wood staircase. The charm of the family room invites you in with a wood-burning fireplace and light pouring in through the bay window. Opposite the family room, is what was originally deemed the parlor room, boasting a large living space, gas fireplace, kitchenette, 3-piece washroom, and separate entrance. The perfect in-law suite for anyone looking for multi-generational space or income potential. On the second floor, you’ll find 4 bedrooms, including an incredibly spacious, newly updated primary with a beautifully designed en-suite, walk-in closet, and balcony. This addition to the property was added in 2018 and has a spectacular view of the forested backyard.

The back of the home is lined with windows full of sunshine and offers the dreamiest views of the expansive backyard. The backyard space feels like your very own park, featuring a two-story carriage house/workshop with a wood-burning stove and electricity. Inside and out, this home will instantly transport you to cottage country. Don’t miss a chance to own a piece of Guelph’s history! Book your private showing today.
