Property Description
There's something special about a home that has been cared for over the years-and still leaves room for you to make it your own. Welcome to 209 Franklin Street S., a solid brick 1,032 sq.ft. bungalow on a generous 52' x 132' lot in Kitchener's established Fairview/Kingsdale neighbourhood. Step inside and you'll find a bright, comfortable home with the character of a classic bungalow. A large front window fills the living room with natural light, while crown moulding and an easy-flowing one-level layout create a welcoming place to call home. The bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, and the spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and workspace, with potential to refresh or reimagine to suit your style. Downstairs, the full basement with a separate entrance extends the possibilities. With approximately 438 sq. ft. of finished lower-level space, plus unfinished space, laundry and storage, there is flexibility for recreation, hobbies, extended family or future improvements. Outside may be where this property truly surprises you. The deep backyard offers mature trees, a large lawn, patio, fencing and storage shed-room for barbecues, gardens, kids or pets to play, or simply a quiet place to relax. A private driveway provides parking for up to four vehicles. And then there's the location. Shopping, schools, parks and public transit are nearby, with convenient connections to Fairway Road, Fairway Station and the ION LRT, Highway 7/8 and the broader Kitchener-Waterloo area. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a home to grow into, a right-sizer who appreciates bungalow living, or someone who sees the potential in a solid home on a mature lot, 209 Franklin Street S. offers something increasingly difficult to find: good bones, genuine outdoor space, an established neighbourhood and the freedom to make it uniquely yours. Come see the possibilities-and imagine what the next chapter could look like here.

There's a reason the Auditorium District remains one of Kitchener's most loved neighbourhoods. Beautiful streets, lot's of character, and every possible amenity nearby, it's one of those locations that simply makes life better. The solid yellow brick with Robin's Blue accents feels wonderfully nostalgic and homey. It starts with a covered front porch at the front and has the sweetest little mudroom at the back, with a whole lot of charm in between. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors run through the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, bringing warmth and character back to the spaces where it belongs. The main floor feels surprisingly spacious, with generous principal rooms and an easy, comfortable flow. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, a modern glass backsplash, and one of the best details: a big window over the sink so even doing the dishes comes with a view of the Weeping Willow tree at the back of the yard. Upstairs, you will find plenty of original storage solutions. Both bedrooms are generously sized with updated closet doors, while the fully renovated bathroom feels fresh and modern with a ceramic tile tub surround and updated fixtures. Downstairs, there's even more usable space with a large finished rec room, laundry room, and cold cellar. There is plenty of room to add another full bathroom if your future plans call for one. Outside may be where this property really turns on the charm. The backyard is mostly fenced and so beautiful, with a patio for entertaining and plenty of grass for making a bonfire pit, a garden, or a future pool. Add a garage and parking for another five vehicles, and this home delivers a rare amount of practicality too. Just off the expressway and steps from the off-leash dog park and skate park, with Downtown Kitchener's shops, restaurants and energy close by, this is a home that puts you right where you want to be, with everything you need for today and plenty of possibility for tomorrow.
