The home offers four plus one bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a fully finished lower level. Features such as integrated home automation, sound-dampening systems, European tilt-and-turn windows, and in-floor heating reflect an emphasis on comfort and performance. The third floor offers a private retreat beneath the home's dramatic roofline, with a bedroom, bathroom, lounge, dedicated home office, gym, and sauna. An outdoor cedar hot tub overlooks the surrounding treetops.The professionally landscaped backyard features an expansive deck, built-in seating, and inviting spaces for dining and entertaining. Mature trees, architectural screening, and a covered lounge area provide privacy, complemented by a separate storage building with covered parking. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, the property is within walking distance of the Centre In The Square, Kitchener Public Library's Central Library, the Kitchener Market, and downtown restaurants, cafés, and shops. The ION LRT, GO Transit, and VIA Rail are nearby, along with the city's growing technology and innovation district.

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.
