Some homes have the location, others have the finishes, 31 James Street West brings it all together! Nestled in the heart of Guelph's beloved Old University neighbourhood, just steps from the river, this beautifully renovated home blends timeless character with a complete top-to-bottom transformation. Every detail has been thoughtfully addressed, right down to the redone exterior stonework. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, while exposed wood beams, warm wood tones and large windows create a bright, inviting interior. The open main floor flows beautifully for everyday living and entertaining, centred around a stylish kitchen featuring white cabinetry, glass-front accents, stainless steel appliances and a generous island with seating. The adjoining dining area invites you to gather with family and friends, with sliding doors opening to the backyard. Three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office, while the upper level's sloped ceilings and skylight add charm. Two beautifully renovated bathrooms include an upper bathroom with a freestanding tub, glass shower and double vanity. Convenient main-floor laundry makes daily routines easy, and the fully finished basement offers additional space for movie nights, hobbies or working from home. Outside, a stone patio and mature greenery create a lovely setting for summer dinners and relaxed evenings, while a detached garage completes the property. Enjoy morning walks along the river and the established surroundings that make Old University so special. With the renovations complete, all that's left is to move in and enjoy!
