Description
Welcome to 21 Braun Street, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home offering character, generous living space and an exceptionally convenient location just steps from the heart of Kitchener. With both Downtown Kitchener and Uptown Waterloo within easy reach, this is a home that combines the charm of an established neighbourhood with a walkable urban lifestyle. Inside, the main level offers formal living and dining rooms, providing inviting spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. A convenient three-piece main floor bathroom adds flexibility to the layout. Upstairs, you'll find a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a soaker tub, along with two spacious bedrooms. The home was originally configured with three bedrooms, with two combined to create a larger room, and the layout can readily be converted back to three bedrooms if desired. A finished attic provides even more versatile living space, ideal for a home office, studio, guest retreat or additional family room. The home has been carefully improved over the years, including a new heat pump and air conditioning system with electric backup in 2023, carrying a 10-year transferable warranty. Other significant updates include the renovated upstairs bathroom, newer windows, a 2015 roof, LeafFilter gutter guards with a lifetime warranty, water softener and reverse-osmosis system, extensive insulation improvements, improved drainage, and a handsome coloured exposed-aggregate concrete driveway. New limestone windowsills were added to the front and rear windows in 2025, while a new refrigerator and washing machine provide additional recent updates. The location is equally appealing. Enjoy being steps from Central Fresh Market, with shopping, restaurants, cafes, transit and the amenities of downtown and uptown close at hand. Nearby Mount Hope Cemetery offers beautiful mature trees and peaceful walking paths, adding an unexpected pocket of greenery. (id:63161)

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.
