🏡 Come tour 490 East Avenue in Kitchener with me.
There’s a reason Kitchener’s Auditorium District remains one of the city’s most loved neighbourhoods. Beautiful tree lined streets, character homes, Downtown Kitchener nearby, and easy access to the expressway. It’s one of those locations that simply makes everyday life a little easier.
And this yellow brick beauty has charm to spare. 💙
The solid yellow brick with Robin’s Blue accents feels wonderfully nostalgic and homey. It starts with a covered front porch and ends with the sweetest little mudroom at the back. In between, beautifully refinished hardwood floors run through the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, bringing warmth and character back to this classic Kitchener home.
The main floor feels surprisingly spacious, with generous rooms and an easy, comfortable flow. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space, a modern glass backsplash, and one of my favourite little details: a big window over the sink looking out toward the beautiful weeping willow in the backyard.
If you have to do the dishes, you might as well have a nice view. 😊
Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized with updated closet doors and plenty of original built in storage. The fully renovated bathroom feels fresh and modern with a ceramic tile tub surround and updated fixtures.
Downstairs gives you even more room with a large finished rec room, laundry room, and cold cellar, with plenty of space to add another full bathroom if your plans call for it.
And then there’s the backyard. 🌳
Mostly fenced, wonderfully private, and full of possibility, it already has a patio for entertaining and plenty of green space for a garden, fire pit, or even a future pool. There’s also a single car garage and driveway parking for up to five additional vehicles, which is a pretty wonderful bonus in this part of Kitchener.
