Welcome to 157 Rickson Avenue. This detached freehold home combines comfort, convenience, and thoughtful updates in one great package. Perfectly located close to the University of Guelph and a short walk to the 58U direct line bus stop at Kortright/Rickson, this home also sits within walking distance to groceries, or a quick ride to the Stone Road Mall, and everyday essentials. Yet, the home still enjoys a peaceful setting backing directly onto Hartsland Park, a quiet, hidden gem beside Rickson Ridge Public School. Inside, the main floor feels bright and open with updated flooring, lighting, and a freshly finished powder room. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space and connects nicely to the dining and living room with patio doors to the backyard, making it easy to gather with family or friends. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom with double closets, updated finishes, and the convenience of laundry on the same level. The finished lower level adds flexibility, with a large rec room and a 3-piece bathroom - ideal as a casual hangout, home office, fitness room, or even two extra bedrooms with proper work and permitting. Outside, a covered front porch welcomes you home, while the double-wide driveway and attached 1-car garage with side entrance make daily life simple. The private, fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room to relax or entertain, complete with a stone patio and garden shed. Clean, well-cared-for, and move-in ready! 157 Rickson Avenue is a place you'll be proud to call home. Book your private showing today!
