Happy Friday!
Well, we made it. We made it to the threshold - arguably the most defining weekend in Guelph every year: the Easter weekend. It begins with the week that we are almost finished, where things around the city are relatively calm. Not many phone calls, not many new listings, not many showings being booked - the calm before the storm, if you will. But, like a duck on water, things look calm on the surface but underneath the water, those legs are paddling. Sellers are preparing for the coming week, stagers are booked to capacity, photo shoots are happening by the hour, lawn signs are popping up all over the city, and folks are battening down the hatches in preparation. Based on the talk around the office this past week, it looks like we’ll be following suite as I’ve spoken to a dozen or so Realtors® personally who all have new listings in the pipeline, ready to hit the ground running once the relaxation and family-time come to a close.
This is typical tradition, it really is the starting point for the official kick off of the spring market.
The Numbers:
Property of the Week
Looking at the last 7 days, this week’s property of choice was:
159 Old Maple Boulevard listed by John Gaida with Home Group Realty here in Guelph.
Ahhh, Rockwood. The quaintness and calmness of this amazing little town is found but a quick 15-minute drive East from Guelph. I did a video shoot for this house and I won’t lie, I immediately found an appreciation for it the second I stepped inside.
Two words: open concept. The popularity of open concept has absolutely sky rocketed over the past year or two and this home fits into that hype. It boasts a large main floor with a dinette, a natural-light-flooded living room, and a kitchen with island and bar stools. Of course, the sliding door walk-out onto a large wooden deck overlooking a beautiful and private backyard is just such an added bonus. A quick walk back to the front door is a separate dining nook with space enough for the whole family, right by a large window looking out to the front yard.
Upstairs boasts 4 spacious bedrooms total: one of which features yet another sliding door walk-out onto the private balcony overlooking the street, and the master that features a walk-in closet, 4-piece ensuite, and all the natural light your master bedrooms needs. The two other bedrooms paired with another 4-piece bathroom and expansive laundry room all work together to create a fantastic second floor.
And as always, what’s a gorgeous & spacious detached home without a basement perfect for entertaining? Downstairs you find a massive recreation room with a 3-piece bathroom and separate utility room.
I’ve attached the listing below. Have a look! If you want to peruse photos, let me know and I can send you a portal link to the full listing.
Thanks for being here and have a great weekend.
