LEGAL DUPLEX in desirable Country Hills! An outstanding opportunity for investors, those who need an in-law suite already set up for multi-generational families, or buyers looking to offset mortgage costs with rental income. Ask your lender how potential income from the second unit may help increase your buying power. This spacious detached 4-level backsplit offers TWO separate 3-bedroom, 1-full bath units, plus a single garage and private outdoor spaces. The UPPER UNIT features some newer windows (2021), a bright kitchen with garden-door walkout to a private deck, and a primary bedroom with twin closets and ensuite privilege to the 4-piece bath with newer vanity, tile and toilet. The carpet-free LOWER UNIT was created/redone in 2015 and features a beautiful kitchen with modern cabinetry and twin sink, full 4-piece bath, low-maintenance laminate flooring, upgraded lower windows, and window well with a hinged leaf cover outside providing secondary egress. Sound-barrier insulation between units adds comfort and privacy. The spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet plus extra storage in the adjoining cold room. A basement WALKOUT with garden doors leads to a large patio and private, fully fenced backyard—ideal for kids and pets. A shed offers extra storage options. Additional features include 200-amp service in the garage, a 100-amp lower-level panel, new AC in 2024, and newer garage door opener (2021). Enjoy a convenient Country Hills location close to schools, parks, community amenities, shopping, public transit and major commuter routes, with easy access throughout Kitchener-Waterloo and toward Highway 401.
