Welcome to 523 Forest Hill Dr — a fully renovated, light-filled bungalow nestled on one of the most generous lots in the city, right in the heart of Kitchener’s Forest Hill neighbourhood. With 65x204 ft of property, mature trees, and no rear neighbours, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, and convenience all in one place. Set on a quiet, family-friendly street, this home backs onto one of Kitchener-Waterloo’s top-rated Catholic schools, making it possible for kids to walk to class without crossing a single street. With incredible proximity to more schools, parks, trails, shopping, and cafés, this address offers a connected lifestyle just 5 minutes to downtown Kitchener and 8 minutes to Uptown Waterloo. Commuters will love the easy access to the highway, without the noise. A striking fiberglass front door sets the tone for the elegance inside, opening to a large, open foyer with new tile flooring, warm hardwood accents, and modern light fixtures throughout. This home has been thoughtfully updated, including all-new black-trim windows and doors, brand-new appliances, a refreshed kitchen with stone countertops, and a blend of classic charm and modern style. Vaulted ceilings elevate the dining area, while unique ceiling textures add character. Downstairs, the fully finished basement is bright, spacious, and ready to entertain with a dry bar, cozy gas fireplace, den, and a full 3-piece bathroom, perfect for guests or growing families. A new AC system ensures year-round comfort. With its ideal location, generous lot, upscale updates, and serene setting, 523 Forest Hill Dr offers an unbeatable combination of lifestyle, luxury, and livability in the heart of the city.
