In Kitchener’s historic East Ward, noble century homes grace the leafy streets and neighbours exchange greetings from their grand front porches.. Renowned for its art walks, street festivals, and porch parties, this family-friendly neighbourhood exemplifies bygone charm and character. Within this enclave, 38 Burbacher Street stands as a unique architectural gem, built in the Italianate Style. This design, once popular for many of Kitchener’s finer 19th-century dwellings, is evident in the home's gabled, low-pitch roofline, decorative brackets, and tall, narrow windows adorned with rounded or arched mouldings. This stately home is filled with architectural features, including original trim, stained glass, hardwood pocket doors, and impressive 10-foot ceilings throughout. Unlike many neighbouring properties, 38 Brubacher is situated on a near double-wide lot and includes a detached garage, a rare find in the East Ward. Residents will appreciate the meticulous maintenance and thoughtful updates this home has undergone over the years. Offering over 2000 sq. ft. above grade, plus a finished basement, the residence features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a convenient main floor option. The home includes a large country-style eat-in kitchen, grand principal rooms, and abundant outdoor amenities, such as a covered porch, a walkout balcony, and a spacious deck in the backyard. Conveniently located near Brubacher Green Playground, walking distance of Downtown Kitchener and just a short drive to the expressway, this property offers exceptional value for the discerning buyer.
