Amazing opportunity to live downtown Kitchener in this century home on Fairview Avenue. Here, you are within walking distance of Downtown, the Kitchener Market and our exciting Memorial Auditorium, the home of our Kitchener Rangers! Come see how the charm stands out inside from the original gumwood staircase in the front foyer to arched openings between living and dining rooms. The kitchen and baths have all been updated to a modern finish yet respectful to its history. The main floor features both living and dining rooms with a spacious kitchen and mud room / pantry combination that opens to the rear yard deck for entertaining. The backyard is deep and private and features a gathering spot around its own firepit. Mature trees and landscaping enhance this oasis. This area is also fully fenced for your pet and child's protection. Back inside and upstairs we have two surprisingly large bedrooms and a third room that could be used as a 3rd bedroom or home office. This space also features a walk out to the 2nd floor balcony and an accessway to the fully finished attic which could be your own incredible primary suite, an upper family room, or just more space for the kids. This lofted area makes this home truly unique! The basement is also fully finished and is full height for use as an in-law suite or simply as a rec room. There is a separate entrance from the side door and a full bath down as well. Parking is traditionally tandem in keeping with downtown homes but we do offer room for 4 vehicles here. This entire home rental could be yours for July 1st so call your Realtor today for a private viewing and get packing!
