The upper unit was fully renovated in 2025 with a brand new kitchen, updated bathroom, and an incredible rooftop deck tucked amongst mature trees overlooking the park, the perfect setting for slow mornings, summer evenings, or entertaining friends above the city skyline. Additional highlights include two separate concrete driveways with parking for up to six vehicles, coin-operated laundry, and an efficient Viessmann boiler system. Rich in character, surrounded by mature neighbourhood charm, and loved and cared for by the same owners for the past 36 years, this is a truly special opportunity in one of Kitchener’s most storied neighbourhoods.
