Where the City Ends
and the Greenspace Begins

Six thousand square feet of craftsmanship, a resort-style backyard, and nothing behind the fence but trees, pond, and protected land.

There are streets in Guelph where the city simply runs out — where the fence line at the back of the yard isn't shared with a neighbour, but with protected greenspace, mature trees, and water. Cox Court is one of them.

Set on a quiet court in the established Kortright East neighbourhood, 51 Cox Court is a custom-built executive residence on a premium lot of over a quarter acre. Across three levels of living, it offers something genuinely rare in the city: scale, craftsmanship, and complete privacy, all at once.

The Grounds

A backyard that lives like a resort

Start where summer does. The professionally landscaped backyard is anchored by a large pool wrapped in stone decking, with a two-level deck, a covered patio, and lounge areas arranged around it — distinct spaces to swim, dine, gather, and unwind. And behind all of it? No rear neighbours, no rooflines. Just the pond and the protected land beyond the fence.

The Residence

Craftsmanship you can feel

The first impression

The home opens into a two-storey foyer where a grand curved staircase rises beneath soaring ceilings — the kind of detail that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Stone floors, archways, and generous principal rooms carry that sense of elegance through the entire main level.

The Barzotti kitchen

At the heart of the main floor is a showpiece kitchen by Barzotti — Guelph's own custom cabinetmaker — built around a granite island and designed with impeccable craftsmanship.

  • Built-in appliances and a gas cooktop beneath a custom range hood
  • Stone countertops with a sunlit dinette walking out to the upper deck
  • A fully equipped butler's pantry connecting to the formal dining room
  • Family room with stacked-stone gas fireplace overlooking the yard

"Backing onto protected greenspace with over 6,000 square feet of finished living space — a combination that almost never comes to market in Guelph."

Upstairs & Down

Room for every season of family life

Upstairs, the primary retreat enjoys peaceful greenspace views, a luxurious ensuite with a glass rainfall shower and soaker tub, and generous walk-in closet space. A second bedroom has its own private ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack and Jill bath — flexibility that works for guests, teenagers, or multi-generational living.

The walkout level

The fully finished walkout level might be the home's best-kept secret: heated floors, a gas fireplace, a custom bar, a dedicated gym, and multiple recreation areas.

With direct access to the backyard, it carries genuine in-law suite potential — a rare bonus at this scale.

The Neighbourhood

Kortright East: established, connected, walkable

Some neighbourhoods you have to explain. Kortright East isn't one of them. Parks, trails, and top-rated schools are all within walking distance, with the University of Guelph, Stone Road amenities, and Highway 6 just minutes away. The court itself is quiet by design — no through traffic, just neighbours.

Every once in a while, someone goes above and beyond. For me, there have been moments—across different industries and stages of life—where people didn’t just meet expectations, they exceeded them. Those experiences stay with you. They guide you. Honestly, they become a benchmark for how you try to show up every single day. It doesn’t always happen in real estate or sales, but it absolutely influences how I approach my work. In some of those standout moments, I’ve even joked with the person delivering the experience, asking if they were looking for a career change. That’s how impactful it was. After 21 years in sales, I’ve learned something simple but powerful: "We can can always do more. The real question is whether we choose to."
