Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just off Pelham Road, 16 Elk Street feels worlds away from the city-yet everything St. Catharines has to offer is only minutes from your door. Set on a remarkable 1.62-acre property surrounded by mature trees, the backyard offers the privacy and peaceful atmosphere of a Muskoka retreat. Wake to sunlight streaming through the home's large windows and deer grazing in the backyard. Spend evenings on the composite deck, relaxing in the swim spa beside a beautiful 'Princess Elizabeth' magnolia while taking in views of the Brock Tower in the distance. From your own property, hike down to the Twelve Mile Creek Trail and walk to Rotary Park. The all-brick raised bungalow offers 3+1 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and just under 2,000 square feet of finished living space, providing plenty of room for your family to grow. A solid poured-concrete foundation, all brick exterior, paved double-wide driveway and attached drive-through garage with front and rear doors add lasting quality and everyday convenience. More than a home, 16 Elk Street is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and escape the busyness of life without leaving the city. Please note: some photos have been virtually staged.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1214/sqft, this property is priced above the St. Catharines average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Market Position
At 26 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in St. Catharines are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
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.
