This is the home you have been waiting for.
Welcome to 370 Green Acres Drive, a rare and iconic offering in Old Colonial Acres—one of Waterloo’s most prestigious and established neighbourhoods.
Set on an expansive ~½ acre lot and tucked away on a quiet court, this timeless Tudor-style home offers 4,300+ SF of beautifully finished living space with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, extensive updates, exceptional privacy, and a backyard that feels like a private resort.
Surrounded by mature trees, this home delivers something incredibly rare—true cottage-style living in the city, just minutes to universities, major employers, and everyday amenities.
From the moment you step inside, the scale and presence are immediate. A grand 2-storey foyer opens to a classic centre hall layout, where the formal living room and private office overlook the front streetscape. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.
The main level unfolds into a bright, open-concept living space anchored by an updated Country Lane kitchen. Featuring heated slate floors, premium appliances, and an oversized island with seating for 6, this is truly the heart of the home.
The breakfast area offers direct access to the backyard, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The adjacent great room, complete with gas fireplace and bay window, frames views of the mature landscape and fills the space with natural light.
A functional mudroom with built-ins, garage access, and a well-positioned powder rm with backyard entry adds everyday convenience.
The upper level offers 5 generous bedrooms—an increasingly rare and highly desirable layout.
The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a custom feature wall with electric fireplace, sitting area, and a walk-in dressing room with built-ins and its own laundry area. The spa-like ensuite includes dual floating vanities and an oversized glass walk-in shower.
Four additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, three with balcony access. An updated 5-pc main bath and a finished attic (~361 SF) complete the upper level.
The backyard is where this home truly sets itself apart.
Backing onto mature trees and designed for complete privacy, this outdoor space feels like a private retreat. An inground pool, expansive stone patio, covered seating area, and multiple outdoor living zones create a setting that is ideal for both quiet relaxation and entertaining.
It’s rare to find this level of privacy, lot size, and lifestyle in such a central Waterloo location.
Old Colonial Acres is one of Waterloo’s most established and tightly held neighbourhoods, originally developed in the late 1950s and expanded through the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
What sets it apart is something that simply cannot be recreated today—large, mature lots, tree-lined streets, and thoughtful planning. Many properties sit on ¼–½ acre lots, and in some cases even larger, offering a level of space and privacy rarely seen in newer communities.
The neighbourhood is known for its quiet courts, curved streets, and low traffic flow, creating a peaceful residential setting that still feels incredibly connected.
This is a neighbourhood that supports an active, outdoor lifestyle—without sacrificing convenience.
Despite its quiet, established feel, Old Colonial Acres is incredibly well located:
It’s this balance of privacy, space, and convenience that continues to drive demand in this neighbourhood.
