Welcome to 85 Audrey Avenue, a charming century home tucked into the Ward, one of Guelph's most exciting up-and-coming neighbourhoods. Just steps from the ERAMOSA RIVER TRAIL for hiking or biking, leading to the iconic covered bridge, canoe launch & Royal City Park, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home blends original character with smart, modern updates. Set behind a CEDAR RAIL FENCE, this CARPET-FREE, MOVE-IN READY home offers a bright, open concept main floor with views of the treed, fully fenced backyard, complete with shed & SEASONAL FLOWER GARDENS that wrap around the home. Slip through the FRENCH DOORS to the living room & cozy up by the ELECTRIC FIREPLACE, or unwind in the deep CLAWFOOT TUB in the main bath. The primary bedroom features a WALK-IN CLOSET, a true rarity for a home of this era. The beautifully finished lower level (2023) features spray foam insulation, a 3-piece bath with HEATED FLOORS, pot lights, and a spacious, versatile layout ideal for additional living space, a home office, gym, or media room. Major updates include NEW WINDOWS plus front & side doors in 2024, all knob & tube replaced with COPPER WIRING in 2005, and a NEW FURNACE installed in 2023 for years of worry-free heating. Parking for 2 vehicles completes the outdoor space. Stroll to the Boathouse Tea Room & ice cream parlour, Lost Aviator Coffee, Lyon Leisure Pool, Guelph Little Theatre, the Greek Garden, & Tim Hortons, and enjoy being just minutes to the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, the ONTARIO VETERINARY COLLEGE, and everything downtown Guelph has to offer.
