26 MARKET Street — Kitchener, Ontario

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. (id:63357)
