POOLS OPEN! Come enjoy summer in style at 44 Ridgeway Avenue. This tidy red-brick bungalow sits on an exceptional 90x183ft (0.35 acre) city lot offering a private slice of paradise. Spend sun-drenched days in the heated in-ground pool before unwinding in the hot tub or relaxing in the gazebo under the stars. Bathed in light, the ~15x12ft sunroom provides panoramic views of tranquil gardens and active songbirds - an enchanting sanctuary that offers a retreat from the bustle of city life. Admired since 1966, this sprawling ranch-style bungalow offers 1,355 square feet on the main floor, with four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms on this level. A newly created accessible living space at the front of the home includes a ~15x11 bedroom/office with powder room, mudroom, separate entrance and climate control (2025). Packed with versatility, this new space creates endless options for home businesses, home health professionals, accessibility-minded family members or an independent guest suite. The finished lower level includes an additional bedroom, separate living area, 3-piece bath and laundry in a functional setup currently used as a private nanny suite. Modern era mechanicals (furnace and A/C 2016, heat pump 2025), insulation (2025) and a metal roof (2016) make this solid home a smart addition to any investor's portfolio. 44 Ridgeway Ave is an ideal opportunity for large families and construction-minded buyers alike. This lot has been pre-approved for intensification (over 20 beds) with Urban Planner-designed development options available. Tucked away in the northernmost part of Guelph's south end, this quiet neighbourhood is just steps to walking trails, Pine Ridge park, the direct-to-University of Guelph bus stop and a 5 minute drive to the UofG Campus. Whether you plan to use the space for family, friends or bringing renovation / development dreams to life, 44 Ridgeway Ave must be seen!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1090/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Guelph market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Market Position
At 24 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.
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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
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 $4,996 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
