Tucked away at the quiet dead end of Lyon Avenue in the heart of Exhibition Park, this renovated 5 bdrm home offers a rare opportunity in one of Guelph's most sought after neighbourhoods. Known for mature tree lined streets, strong sense of community, parks, schools, & walkability to downtown, Exhibition Park consistently holds value. Homes on this street rarely come to market. Thoughtfully expanded & redesigned, the home blends timeless character with modern updates. The kitchen was completely reimagined in 2021 by Newlife Cabinetry Kitchens & showcases quartz & granite counters, a nearly 12 ft island with prep sink, full apron sink overlooking the backyard, oversized gas range with custom hood, built in appliances, & extensive custom cabinetry with premium storage. Abundant windows & cabinet lighting enhance warmth & natural light. The foyer features cathedral ceilings & open to above design with built in cubbies for everyday organization. A French glass pocket door offers flexibility between the kitchen & great room. The dining area, highlighted by a large bay window overlooking the streetscape, flows from the kitchen & can also serve as a formal living space. Just steps down, the spacious great room offers custom built ins, detailed trim work, gas fireplace, garage access, walkout to the yard, & convenient 3 piece bath ideal for pool use. The private primary suite is set in its own wing with 12' ceilings, hardwood floors, lounge or office space, & a luxurious ensuite with heated floors, soaker tub, glass shower, granite double vanity, & custom built ins. Four additional bedrooms, upper laundry, & a spa inspired main bath complete the upper level. The backyard is a private oasis featuring a heated Gunite pool, hot tub, conversation area, & raised garden boxes. A partially finished lower level with high ceilings, framed space, rough in bath, storage, & cold room offers future potential. **Interboard listing: Cornerstone Association of REALTORS**
