Welcome to 129 Talbot Street, a detached brick home that offers a rare balance of modern character and structural peace of mind. Situated on a deep 120-foot lot in the heart of Victoria Hills, this property provides a private retreat while keeping you connected to the best of Kitchener. The main level is designed for both social connection and quiet comfort, centered around a chef-inspired kitchen with a large social island, custom hexagonal backsplash, and high-end finishes. The wood-paneled family room provides a warm, cabin-like atmosphere, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. Large garden doors lead to a fully fenced backyard with a stone patio and metal gazebo, perfect for outdoor dining and summer evenings in a secluded setting. The bedroom level maintains its original charm with warm hardwood flooring and unique touches like the glass-inset closet doors with fluted crystal knobs. The partially finished basement adds significant functional value, featuring a 3-piece bathroom, a laundry suite, and a large recreational room with extensive built-in shelving—a versatile flex space ideal for a home gym, office, or play area. This level also includes a dedicated workshop and utility room for added storage and projects. Significant mechanical updates have already been handled for the next owner, including a long-lasting metal shingle roof installed in 2012 and a modern tankless on-demand water heater for maximum efficiency. With a private 3-car driveway and a location just steps from the Iron Horse Trail, Victoria Park, and the shops of Belmont Village, this is a move-in-ready opportunity for those seeking a detached lifestyle on a generous lot.
