Description
Welcome to 162 Joseph Street, a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home full of classic character in one of Kitchener's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Move-in ready as-is, it's also a great opportunity for a buyer looking to add their own personal touch and build in something truly their own — a project with real upside in a prime location. Tucked into a walkable pocket of Kitchener, this home is minutes from the historic Victoria Park and close to an ION LRT stop, putting downtown Kitchener and Waterloo within easy reach. You're also near to the Kitchener Market, Centre In The Square, Grand River Hospital, and the Innovation District around the Tannery - home to Google Kitchener and a growing tech scene. Inside, original hardwood floors, tall baseboards, an arched doorway, and a striking wood staircase set the tone. The kitchen offers a large centre island and a walkout to the back deck, while sun-filled living and dining rooms offer great everyday space. A main-floor bathroom and side entrance complete the first level. Upstairs, a roomy primary bedroom with its own walk-in closet leads three more well-proportioned bedrooms and a second full bathroom - great for family, roommates, or rental income. Outside - a fenced backyard with deck and mature trees, a detached single-car garage, and a long driveway with excellent parking. With its unbeatable location near great amenities, classic character, and strong investment potential, 162 Joseph Street is worth seeing for yourself. (id:63159)

Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Land Transfer Tax is the Ontario provincial schedule, before any first-time buyer refund; only the City of Toronto charges a municipal land transfer tax on top, so none applies in the areas this site covers (Ontario Ministry of Finance, ontario.ca/document/land-transfer-tax, as of October 28, 2026). Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
