Downsizing doesn't have to mean sacrificing your standard of living. Situated in the highly sought-after North of Lakeshore corridor, this end-unit bungalow townhome has a beautiful main floor comprised of nearly 1500 sq. ft., along with a fully finished lower level as well. Not long after moving in, you'll realize how idyllic the location is, with Lake Ontario, the Waterfront Trail, and the Walkers Creek Trail system all within strolling distance. Built in 2010, the exterior profile has a timeliness architectural appeal with stucco and stone façade, a 4-car concrete driveway, and a double-car garage.

With an open concept plan, the main area includes a custom kitchen with features such as cabinets to the ceiling, accent lighting, stone counters, and peninsula opening to the dining and living rooms.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $564/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to St. Catharines. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.

Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: St. Catharines properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,291 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
