We’re proud to present this lovingly updated century home in the heart of Ingersoll – one which is nestled on a peaceful street just moments from downtown, parks, and trails. It’s a home we think will certainly ‘merritt’ a second look! Set on an impressively deep, west-facing lot with no immediate rear neighbours, 148 Merritt Street offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and charm, with ample parking for more than 8 vehicles on a newly paved drive that leads up to a detached, two-tiered garage with power (ideal for hobbyists or extra storage). Step up to an updated front porch perfect for leisurely moments, and enter through the beautiful woodgrain-style front door. Inside, you’re welcomed by a stunning foyer adorned with decorative wallpaper, stylish new fixtures, and a cleverly tucked-away powder room beneath the original staircase. To the right, rich updated flooring carries you through the original pocket door into a cozy living room, featuring abundant custom millwork and a striking reclaimed yellow Ontario farmhouse brick fireplace complete with a new wood-burning insert. Double French-style pocket doors lead you into a generous dining room ready to host family and friends, which itself flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen with its quartz counters, stainless appliances, and timeless cabinetry. From the mudroom, step outside into your own private backyard oasis. Fully fenced and sun-soaked, this serene space boasts a two-tiered deck, a spacious lawn ideal for kids or pups, and a woodshed ideal for keeping that firepit humming on cool summer evenings. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, all sharing a beautifully renovated full bathroom.

The epitome of a central DTK lifestyle – the historic Kaufman Lofts at 404 King Street West, Kitchener, serve as a template for the dozens of condo developments that have followed in their footsteps over recent years, and still set an example that’s very tough to beat today. Unit 524 presents a rarely-offered layout that maximizes every inch of this one-bedroom plus den, one-bathroom, 845 square-foot floorplan. A flood of south-western light, gleaming carpet-free polished concrete floors, towering 13-foot-plus ceilings, and a distinctly chic urban feel all help to characterize what’s on abundant display here. Airy and open-concept, an extensive foyer leads visitors past the tidy four-piece washroom and into the den – a sizeable, very flexible space which offers the chance for WFHers to enjoy a commute measured not in minutes, but seconds. Hang a left, and take in a stylish kitchen that provides plenty of prep space, taking special note of the gleaming granite countertops and island, as well as all that pot-lighting way above your head. An open living/dining space features plenty of built-in shelving on either side of the cozy electric fireplace (great for our colder months), plus a direct walkout to an exclusive and very long balcony five stories above Waterloo Region’s primary artery of King Street. The private primary bedroom is your retreat, and boasts a generously proportioned walk-in closet of its own. With the LRT quite literally a stone’s throw from your unit, the forthcoming regional transit hub right around the corner, and dozens of prominent offices (including Google), retailers, restaurants, and civic amenities only a few minutes away by foot, it’s not hard to see why the DTK lifestyle appeals to so many.
