The location is simply impossible to beat—walking distance to the University of Guelph, Downtown Guelph, parks, trails, and everyday amenities, while still offering convenient access out of town and to major highways for commuters and travellers alike.

The lots here are equally irreplaceable. With generous 90-foot frontages and more than 35 years of mature trees and landscaping, even a walk to the end of your driveway becomes something to enjoy.

Wait—I have gotten this far into the write-up without mentioning the house? Well, the neighbourhood almost speaks for itself. The name Monticello is synonymous with one of the flagship locations of Kortright East and Old University. It is a street where every home has its own personality and character, making the neighbourhood even more special.

Large, practical homes designed for real family living, all picture-framed by one of Guelph's most sought-after settings.

35 Monticello sits right in the heart of it all and is a true reflection of pride of ownership, thoughtful design, and timeless taste. It's one thing to renovate a home; it's another to do so when you never planned on leaving. The result is a residence that has been upgraded for enjoyment rather than resale, with warmth and quality evident from start to finish.

Natural light pours through the home, showcasing breathtaking views of the mature neighbourhood, private backyard, and sparkling saltwater pool. The screened-in porch off the primary suite is a true sanctuary—a peaceful retreat that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

Offering just under 3,000 square feet above grade, this classic five-bedroom home delivers exceptional space for growing families. The finished basement adds incredible flexibility, featuring a separate entrance and potential for a turnkey apartment while still leaving ample room for storage, hobbies, or recreation.

The oversized double garage provides plenty of space for vehicles and equipment, while the extra-long driveway easily accommodates family and guests alike—no surprise given the scale of this impressive lot.

From the upgraded exterior to the beautifully renovated interior, all set within the embrace of one of Guelph's finest neighbourhoods, this is a home that delivers on every level.

And if you're as fortunate as we have been, years from now you may find yourself saying the same thing we do today:

"This is why we moved here—and why we never left."
