27 Goreing Street

Welcome to 27 Goreing Street

When you are looking for more of a stately manor than a fixer-upper, in today’s competitive real estate market you may have to compromise. You could buy a piece of infill land and build it into a palace, but that would require years of permitting, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and standing out from your smaller neighbours like a sore thumb. Or you could opt for a suburban McMansion where every development and strip mall looks exactly like every other and you’re hard-pressed to tell which house is yours after dark.

We think there is a better alternative: Making a fresh start in a scenic, affordable town like Cambridge. Fortunately, the stunning detached, two-storey, three bedroom home at 27 Goreing St. in the heart of Cambridge makes compromise unnecessary: This is the opportunity of a lifetime to move right in to a spacious, exquisitely renovated home on beautifully manicured, spacious corner lot just moments from the pond, the Grand River, and the endless breathing space of nature – while still living within an easy commute of major centres like Kitchener-Waterloo, Brantford, Guelph, Milton, Mississauga, Brampton and Hamilton.

City dwellers may fret about giving up walk-able conveniences, but North Galt residents are only about a 15 minute walk from downtown. Because Cambridge is so close to the 401, you are hardly living in isolation; a quick drive yields whatever you need, without having to rub elbows with so many people. Cambridge also offers a surprising array of public transportation options, with over 90% of residents living within walking distance of 30-minute transit service including local buses, GO Transit, and even Greyhound and Coach, according to Cambridge’s City Website. In fact, Cambridge boasts a unique mix of rural and urban that is perfect for raising families or retiring away from the big-city hustle and bustle.

27 Goreing St. is located in the North Galt community, where homes come in a wide variety of sizes and styles from brand new builds to heritage homes. Residential areas are serviced by the Cambridge Centre Mall, local core businesses, and additional plazas offering professional services. Many of these building structures retail their historical ‘bones’ and have been converted such that the old town feeling is not lost to soulless modern glass and steel. A retirement and senior living complex is also convenient to the North Galt area of Cambridge, as is the prestigious University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture.

Like many country settings, the pace is slower in North Galt; there is an older population. But the lively downtown core comes to life during the day and evening, with many people drawn to the river and its recreational opportunities, as well as fine dining and nightlife. It’s a family friendly community that has been slower than some to gentrify, but soon will – making a house purchase here a great investment for the future. Due to more condos and lofts being built, young professionals are gradually gaining a toehold on what used to be a larger Boomer community. It’s still an area undergoing transition, as we have seen so many others do; and as more and more businesses and services move into the area to increase amenities for the younger crowd, property prices are expected to rise accordingly. Already, more and more entertainment events and activities are being staged here, including increased programming from art galleries and private theatres as well as ice rinks.

The corner home at 27 Goreing Street looks almost like a wedding cake, with tall white pillars and gabled roofs, yet is right at home with the caliber of other homes in the neigbhourhood. Carefully landscaped and manicured gardens, enjoyable from the privacy of your fully fenced yard, add to the magnificent curb appeal. A double-wide stamped concrete driveway leads to the attached garage with total parking for 3 cars. Inside, a homeowner’s paradise awaits: space, space, and more space, all tastefully decorated in neutral colours and finished only with the finest hardwood and ceramic tile throughout the home.

The carefully considered layout maximizes open concept flow: relax in the living room/family room before dinner in front of the toasty gas fireplace, proceed through to the dining room for meals, and then whoever is on clean up duty will find it a snap in the upgraded chef’s kitchen, which features an abundance of maple cabinetry for storage, large sinks, plenty of counters and gleaming  stainless steel appliances. A walkout to the yard helps make indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze, and of course, there is a gas hook up to help your home a great destination for family barbecues!

Upstairs, two spacious, well-lit bedrooms are served by a Jack-and-Jill style four piece bath – an indulgence when you consider that the Master bedroom itself also has a five-piece master ensuite including an extra-deep soaker tub and a separate shower, so growing families can all get ready at the same time.

The lower level has recently been fully finished, which only adds to the living/recreation space of this oversized home – although the laundry remains conveniently on the second level. Recent upgrades include roof shingles with 25-year transferable warranty (2017), front porch and steps (2016), California ceiling, new baseboards, interior stairs, and second floor hardwood flooring (all 2014). This is truly an executive home with absolutely everything you want, and nothing you don’t – at a price that makes this an amazing entry point to those just beginning their careers.

We are delighted to offer 27 Goreing Street for sale, as it represents tremendous value for a substantially sized, beautiful appointed home in a quaint country setting. This is a rare chance for families and retirees to own a well-chosen, spacious home in a town that combines the best of rural and urban living… at a very comfortable price.
