Welcome to 8 Norbert Place! A remarkably well-preserved home where more than 50 years of careful ownership can be seen in every room, every garden bed and every corner of the property. Built in 1972 and occupied by the last owner for 45 years, this immaculate all-brick, four-level sidesplit is ready to begin its next chapter. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Kitchener's established, family-friendly Bridgeport neighbourhood, the home offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and several inviting living spaces with room for everyone to gather, relax or pursue their own interests. Inside, the beautifully maintained 1970s finishes create a true time-capsule atmosphere. The oak kitchen is complemented by quartz countertops and newer stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms painted tiles shine like new. The lower-level rec room offers plenty of space for movie nights, games and entertaining by the nostalgic bar. The same pride of ownership continues outside. A large interlock driveway provides parking for several vehicles and room for play, while the oversized double garage offers abundant space for toys, tools, hobbies and gear. Complete with an insulated garage door, wood stove and direct access to both the backyard and basement, it is much more than a place to park. The fully fenced backyard enjoys southern exposure and feels wonderfully private, surrounded by towering mature spruce trees, established landscaping and an exceptionally well-kept lawn. A patio overlooking the yard creates a peaceful place for summer meals, morning coffee and watching children or pets play. Important updates include the furnace, air conditioning, roof, windows, garage door and appliances. Close to Downtown Kitchener & Uptown Waterloo, University of Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier, and Conestoga College, the highways, shopping, major employers, the Grand River and the surrounding countryside. This is a home that offers a quiet setting and excellent everyday access for your family.
