RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jgsz - 12-01-2019
Infill at the corner of Pequegnat Ave and Mansion Street. There used to be a single-family house facing Pequegnat Ave when I was living in the neighbourhood. These two buildings represent a small increase in density for the area.

And ugly as sin to boot! Among other things, I'm not feeling that roofline at all.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Rainrider22 - 12-01-2019
I was actually thinking I like it a lot. I feel it blends into the current neighbourhood .
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 12-01-2019
The duplex (?) in behind looks like it's trying to blend in, but the house on the corner seems quite eccentric to me. Good that it looks like it will be mostly brick, I guess.

Plot twist: it’s structural brick. Final cladding will be stucco.
You heard it here first.

Not a duplex, another single family home.

What I took to be a second front door is actually the balcony above the garage.

My first thought was it's good looking for triplex and does an okay job of blending in. After looking at the listing from DK519 I change my mind to ugly for a single family home. It's going to look like your family lives in an apartment building.
ETA: How does a modern build that big only have 1.4 baths? Seems like it should be 2.4 or 3?

1.4 baths? There is a bathroom on the loft level, two on the bedroom level and a washroom on the main level. That's 3.5 by my math.

The listing should be updated. I didn't scroll through the floor plans, I just read the listing.
2824 Sq Ft
4 Beds
1.4 Baths
New Year Built
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - neonjoe - 12-02-2019
In a realtor listing 1.4 baths means
1 full and 4 half baths.
I think they updated the listing to 3.1 baths
3 full and 1 half

Thanks, I learn something everyday. My agent never spelled that out for me.
I think they mostly just make it up though. The house we bought was listed as 2 baths and it turned out it was a full bathroom and a toilet in the basement.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 12-04-2019
Noticed today that the old house on College (at Duke, behind the proposed safe injection site) has been torn down. I remember at one point it was owned by a hoarder who let the house get.... very bad. I wonder if that's why it was torn down? Or is it related to a development?

In one of the recent heritage committee meetings the fate of this house was discussed. The demolition was related to the condition of the building. It had been deemed unsafe a few years ago and was beyond repair.
