15 HICKORY STREET — Guelph (Kortright West), Ontario

There is a rare kind of magic in a home so special that the original owner chose to return to it years after moving away. This well-kept three-bedroom sidesplit is situated on a quiet, tree-lined street where neighbours know you by name and summer block parties are a yearly tradition. Because there are no sidewalks, the road feels wide and open, allowing kids to play and ride their bikes safely right in front of the house. You are just minutes from Jean Little Public School and St. Michael's Catholic School, with three parks, the university, Stone Road Mall and groceries all within walking distance. Even in the winter, the community stays vibrant as the air fills with the sounds of skating and hockey at the beloved Oak Street Park rink. Mornings begin in the sun-filled three-season room, where skylights and tons of windows make it the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee and watch the day begin. The interior is designed for effortless connection, featuring a dedicated dining area that flows naturally into an inviting living room, while skylights in both the kitchen and stairway add an extra brightness to everyday living. Just a few steps down, the family room offers a cozy gas fireplace and sliders that lead directly to a charming gazebo and a massive, fully fenced backyard. The basement features a finished rec room that provides the perfect flex space for a playroom or teenage hangout, along with laundry and plenty of additional storage. Outside, this standout backyard offers plenty of room for a pool or even a large addition. A two-car garage and mature setting complete the package. Now, this cherished home is ready for the next family to create their own memories with bright mornings, cozy evenings, and plenty of room for life to unfold. (id:63357)
