With the current home positioned on the short side of the lot, this property unlocks the full potential of an impressive approx. 45 x 129 ft side yard - a rare opportunity for homeowners, investors, and developers alike. Easily add an ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit) or capitalize on the existing approved severance application to build two semi-detached dwellings with the potential for up to 6 additional units. Much of the costly and time-consuming planning work has already been completed, including prior ADU approval and current severance approvals, making this a truly turnkey development opportunity. The recently renovated legal duplex features 3+2 bedrooms and offers immediate income potential, while providing the flexibility to live in one unit and thoughtfully develop the side yard over time. Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio, create a multi-generational living setup, or secure a high-upside redevelopment property, the possibilities here are exceptional. Located in the highly desirable Exhibition Park neighbourhood, this property is surrounded by a vibrant community atmosphere, mature trees, parks, schools, and amenities - including a newly installed park directly across the street. Rarely does a property combine immediate cash flow, future development potential, and a premier location so seamlessly. Explore the possibilities and imagine the future you can build here.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1571/sqft, this property is priced above the Guelph average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Market Position
At 36 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Guelph are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Guelph.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Guelph properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,583 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
