26 Stanmore Avenue, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, N2B3W2

From the street, this looks like a classic raised bungalow. Inside? There’s a lot more going on. With over 2,500 sf of living space, 3+1 beds and 3 full baths, this is a home that gives you room to live a little bigger — without losing that comfortable, easygoing feel. Upstairs, the layout is bright, practical and welcoming, with generous living and dining areas, a spacious kitchen, and direct access to the upper composite deck. Morning coffee out here? Absolutely. Dinner with friends on a warm summer night? Even better. Then there’s the primary suite. This is not your average raised-bungalow bedroom. Tucked a few steps up over the garage, it feels like its own little hideaway, with a private ensuite and enough space for a reading chair, desk, workout corner or simply... room to breathe. And then comes the lower level. A walkout lower level — yes, you read that right — with full-size windows, lots of natural light, a spacious rec room with fireplace, full kitchen, bedroom, full bath, laundry and direct access to the covered composite deck and backyard. This is the kind of space that makes you start imagining possibilities. Maybe older kids claim it. Maybe parents or extended family settle in comfortably. Maybe guests stay longer. Or maybe you claim the whole lower level for movie nights, hobbies and a second fridge full of snacks. The home is currently configured as a duplex, with the familiar shared entry of a raised bungalow and separate upper and lower living areas. It still feels naturally like one home, while offering flexibility for multi-generational living, extended family or potential rental income. Outside, you get not one but two composite decks — an upper deck for sunny afternoons and a covered lower deck for shaded lounging. Add parking for five and Walter Bean Trail within walking distance, and this isn’t just a house with extra space. It’s a home with a lot of ways to live in it. And that might just be its best feature.
