The Kind of Street People Don't Leave. Everything's done. Not mostly done - done. 5 Cheltonwood Avenue sits in a quiet pocket of Guelph's east end, near Victoria and Eastview - an established older neighbourhood where the trees are tall, the lots are generous, and homes rarely come up. Schools, shopping, and Victor Davis Recreation Complex are all an easy walk away. This 1967 sidesplit has been cared for the way people care for a place they never planned to leave. Every year brought another improvement, chosen thoughtfully and done properly - and the result is a home that simply feels finished. The backyard is what you'll still be thinking about on the drive home. Step through the custom slider, and the world goes quiet. The yard is fully fenced and wrapped in towering evergreens. A hot tub - included - sits tucked beneath a pergola, where evenings stretch a little longer than you meant them to. A raised deck for that first cup of coffee. A separate patio dining area for the friends who stay late. A custom 12x8 shed, sided and shingled to match. It's private, it's peaceful, and it's the reason the current owners will miss this place most. Inside, the quality holds up. Maple cabinetry in a rich espresso finish, a breakfast bar island beneath pendant lighting, and stainless appliances. Kohler fixtures and oak cabinetry in the upstairs bath. New flooring, new lighting, new interior doors and new baseboards throughout. Three bedrooms, a dedicated office, 2.5 baths, and an attached garage - room to work, room to gather, room to get away from it all. And the important work is already handled: 200-amp service and upgraded electrical, R-60 attic insulation, furnace and roof in 2019, the deck, pergola, patio and hot tub in 2018-19, exterior paint in 2023, front and basement windows, chimney rebricked, front door and custom slider in 2024, soffits, fascia and eavestroughs in 2024, and a brand-new garage door in 2026. Nothing left to do but unpack.
