15 Valley Road

There's a good chance that you've never driven down Valley road, even though it is essentially located in the middle of Guelph's South end. This street of modern built luxury executive homes was constructed just over a decade ago, and is what I like to call one of the city's secret streets. This almost 1900 square foot bungalow has a lofty 14 ft cathedral ceiling entryway as you enter, and leads into an entirely open combined dining room/living room/kitchen area. The cathedral effect continues in the dining room, which blends into the completely open living space, with a convenient gas fireplace. The lovely designer French provincial kitchen is populated with high-end built-in Bosch appliances. Sliders at the rear of the house lead to a tidy petite back deck great for a leisurely tea or coffee. The primary bedroom of course has a 5-piece en-suite, while the other two upper bedrooms share a bathroom with access between them. What was intended to be the third upper bedroom is currently in use as an office, but there is no effort to revert it to being a bedroom. The basement was completely professionally finished in 2017 and includes a separate walk up access to the garage. Adding another 1600 square feet of living space, it's designed so that it's very easily convertible into a separate unit should the owners desire. Or continue to use it as a lovely pair of spare bedrooms with a fantastic huge recreation room, also with another gas fireplace. Secluded on a cul-de-sac, yet close to both shopping and highway access, this home was built to be someone's enviable retirement chateau.
