Property Description

Cute as a button and perfectly situated in a sought-after pocket of Uptown Waterloo! This detached freehold home with a garage is tucked away on one of Uptown’s most desirable streets — close to shops, restaurants, parks, transit, and everything this vibrant neighbourhood has to offer. Location, location, location! One of the rarest finds in this price range? An incredibly private, oversized backyard. Whether it’s space for kids and dogs to run, summer entertaining, or relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, this backyard oasis offers endless possibilities all year round. Inside, you’ll find just under 1,400 square feet of beautifully maintained living space featuring 2+1 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Original hardwood floors and rounded archways preserve the timeless charm of this 87-year-old home, while thoughtful updates throughout provide the convenience and comfort of modern living. The primary bedroom includes a large sliding door overlooking the backyard, complete with a motorized blind for an added touch of luxury. The second main floor bedroom allows easy access to the backyard as well and can be repurposed as a gorgeous home office. From stainless steel appliances and ceiling height cabinets in the kitchen to a classic tiled main floor washroom with deep soaker tub, this house checks all the boxes. The recently redone fully finished basement features a family room with fireplace and built-in surround sound speakers. The stylish dedicated laundry area flows into another full bathroom which is ensuite to the third bedroom. The extensive update list speaks for itself — there is truly nothing to do but move in and enjoy. 256 Bowman Street proves that good things really do come in small packages!
