4 WESTOBY PL Guelph, ON N1E 2B3

Growing up in Guelph, this home takes me back to memories I had as a kid. Tucked away on a tree lined cul-de-sac sits this beautiful bungalow, Italian built with quality and pride by the owner. Constructed when quality really stood for something. I am of Italian heritage, so I can speak to this...it reminds me of so many of those brick bungalows that we have all been in that were built in the 1960s…built to withstand anything...plaster walls and ceilings, hardwood and ceramic throughout, mahogany trim and doors, paneling in the rec room...a home built for raising a family. Picture this, the spacious kitchen would have been the place for large Italian Sunday gatherings with loads of food, family and friends dropping by unexpectedly and where loud conversations were expected. During the week Mamma would be waiting for the kids as they raced home for lunch from the school just around the corner, knowing that the smells of freshly made risotto and bread were awaiting them. On weekends if the kids weren't running around the large yard playing tag or hide and seek, they were downstairs in the rec room, laughing, playing records and enjoying the warmth of the wood stove that Papa had stoked before starting to putter in the back garden. He would be there or in the huge cantina making wine, hanging prosciutto and entertaining his buddies who would sneak in unnoticed through the separate entrance through the garage. Over the years, upgrades were made, new living room luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint and updated mechanicals. The potential for this home is limitless for someone new...an opportunity to build on the strong foundation that was cast by the original family years ago. Mamma and Papa would be proud to see this home loved by another family and to have new memories made in the place they loved and once called home.
