Welcome to 173 Ripplewood Crescent, a well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with over 2400 sq. ft. above grade in the desirable Forest Hills neighbourhood of Kitchener.

The main floor features a bedroom and full bathroom, laundry room, eat-in kitchen with quality cabinets and quartz countertops, family room with a gas fireplace and oversized sliding doors to the backyard, plus a separate dining room and living room. It truely is a layout ideal for entertaining and multi-generational living. Upstairs, you’ll find three generous-sized bedrooms, including one with vaulted ceilings, a full bathroom, and some sneaky attic storage off the walk-in closet. The finished basement adds even more space, offering a large open rec room (a true gamer lover's paradise), another full bathroom, workshop, cold cellar, and a storage/kitchenette area. Outside, the property includes an oversized two-car garage, beautiful exposed concrete driveway with parking for six vehicles, brick exterior with newer vinyl siding (2024), and a large shed.
