180 Gordon Condo Project

A Memorial Park Meets a Townhouse Condo Project

Yet another condo/stacked townhouse project is planned for Guelph. This particular project would likely be designed with students in mind given it’s central location. The piece of land involved in the application to the City of Guelph is located at 180 Gordon Street. This location is on one of the busiest streets in Guelph and at the gateway to the downtown core. Situated on the Speed and Eramosa River convergence, and a short walk to the University of Guelph along with being on a main bus route, you can’t imagine a better location for such a project.

There is some concern about the effect that the development might have on the area but quite frankly, it is currently a brown field location! What can be worse than what is there now? Marianne’s Park is located adjacent to the property and there is some fear that the park and it’s purpose would be diminished somehow. The background behind the park is admirable and upon learning it’s history, I understand why she has “friend’s” defending her future. If you don’t know the history, it is a memorial park dedicated to Marianne Goulden. Goulden worked to support women who were victims of domestic violence and was murdered in 1992 by her common-law partner. I am compassionate towards these kind of memorial parks, but also speak honestly and freely about how they effect their surroundings. In this case, although located on a busy street, not many residents even know of its existence. I believe that it will serve a better purpose having a notable building as it’s neighbour rather than an ugly, possibly contaminated brown field. The focus and attention of a new building may serve a broader purpose and draw insight and attention to a shameful issue of domestic abuse of women. My guess is that a few more people might stroll through the park as part of their daily routine or commute and become enlightened, just as I have become enlightened as I learn about this development. Perhaps I too would never have known about this memorial park.

Country Dream – High Demand Area

An incredibly peaceful view from the numerous full sized windows that gaze over the rolling country fields behind. This view and location cannot easily be duplicated. Be aware that anyone who visits spends time contemplating a change and imaging their lives here. Such a convenient location only a hop and skip to the south end of Guelph. Only 10 minutes from the 401.

This property boast 9 foot ceilings, over sized rooms and a walk out basement design. From the front you may notice that only two windows are present (bedrooms), this is by design. The natural light from the 10 plus windows at the rear bring in the nature around and allow for privacy at the same time. The bedrooms (where most people sleep) do not require bright day time light.

The house has over 4400 square feet of living space including the finished basement. To describe the house in proper terms would be an impossible task, so you must view this house to appreciate it. What I will tell you is that the basement has the potential for 4 bedrooms, but we have listed only two. The laundry room is huge and bright but can be turned into a bedroom and moved to the mud room area between the garage and kitchen on the main floor. The other room which is currently a multipurpose room can also be converted to a bright bedroom. The two other actual bed rooms do not have windows which are ideal for sleeping but some people prefer to have windows.

The triple car garage adds room for additional storage and the the long driveway allows for many cars or guest cars to park. The gorgeous deck and gazebo are perfect for entertaining. This home shows well but could use minor updating in terms of flooring choices and the odd fixture. Overall it is a superior property.
