About This Property

Nestled on one of West Galt's most charming tree-lined streets, this beautifully maintained red brick century home offers the warmth and craftsmanship thoughtfully complemented by today's essential updates. Just steps from the vibrant Gaslight District, downtown cafés, boutique shopping, parks, schools and the Grand River, this is a neighbourhood where community, walkability and lifestyle come together. From the inviting covered front porch to the spacious principal rooms, every space reflects the charm and character buyers have come to love in Cambridge's historic core. Rich architectural details, hardwood flooring, and an abundance of natural light create a home that is both elegant and welcoming. The kitchen features newer countertops and flows seamlessly to a large rear deck overlooking the fully fenced private backyard. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a 4-piece bath, while the finished basement provides additional living space complete with a recreation room and additional full 3-piece bathroom. This home has been meticulously cared for with numerous valuable improvements, including a new garage roof (2025), furnace (2022), double-hung windows, 200 amp electrical service, water softener, and more-allowing you to move in with confidence. What truly sets this property apart is its future potential. Situated within Cambridge's innovative Barrie Lane Laneway Housing Initiative, this property is located in an area where detached accessory dwelling opportunities have been introduced, opening the door for buyers to explore the possibility of creating additional living space or future rental income, subject to municipal approvals and servicing requirements. Whether you're thinking multigenerational living, a private guest suite, home office or long-term investment, this is an opportunity that few character homes can offer.
