When you think of quintessential Guelph, you're surely envisioning The Ward- a tight-knit community of friends and neighbours who go out of their way to look out for one another. Your latest opportunity to join the fray is here at 214 Ferguson Street- and with it comes a wealth of value and opportunity, in a charming red-brick bungalow with its own legal basement apartment! Upstairs, the open-concept space features soaring ceilings, bright new windows & modern flooring and lighting. 3 bedrooms offer their own cozy spaces, including a primary bedroom with a built-in wardrobe; you might even choose to use the front as a den, office or craft room as the current owner has. Downstairs, the small second kitchen, emblematic of the Ward's Italian roots, was transformed into a full lower suite that can generate income, or serve your family's need for space. With its own private entrance at the rear, the 2-bedroom apartment features a 4 pc. washroom, open kitchen & dining, and shared laundry in a rear mudroom. Outside, the backyard is a gardener's paradise- with grape vines, raspberries, planters for vegetables; and even a chicken coop if you get really adventurous! The home is great for kids, with a secret gate access to Mico Valeriote Park- a brand-new playground virtually exclusive to its surrounding neighbours! Enjoy extra storage in a detached single garage, plus driveway parking for 3 more cars. If you haven't explored The Ward, you'll love touring around. Between the rivers, parks & new arrivals like Sugo Mercato- you'll find many places to meet up with friends and neighbours. Talk with anyone who's lived here, and let them expound on the nostalgia and love they feel for it. Or, make it a part of your history & move here yourself.
