CHARMING RETREAT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY! Tucked away in the scenic Hespeler area of Cambridge, this one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect blend of charm, character, and nature—backing onto the serene Speed River. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone for the warmth inside, where natural light fills the bright and inviting living room. The open-concept kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly, with a walkout to a spacious deck—ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding with breathtaking water views. Just beyond, the sunroom provides a peaceful retreat, ready to be transformed into your dream reading nook. The main floor also features a generous bedroom and a convenient 2pc bathroom. Upstairs, 2 additional bedrooms and a 4pc bath provide comfortable living space. The unfinished lower level, with a walkout to the backyard, presents endless possibilities—whether you envision a cozy rec room or additional storage. Step outside and immerse yourself in nature. With direct access to Mill Pond and Speed River, you can enjoy fishing, canoeing, or kayaking right from your backyard. The surrounding wildlife is nothing short of spectacular, with bald eagles, ospreys, and even river otters making frequent appearances. Recent updates include a new AC and furnace (2022) and a roof replacement (2016). Just minutes from the 401, this hidden gem offers a peaceful escape while keeping you close to everything you need. A rare opportunity to experience nature’s beauty without leaving the city!
