Built to last generations, this custom 'Homes by Hendriks' residence (2022) in Port Dalhousie pairs uncompromising construction with timeless design, blending British heritage charm with a relaxed California sensibility. Quality begins with what you can't see: a rebar-reinforced foundation, ZIP System wall sheathing, enhanced structural lumber, sound insulation in the walls, floors and ceilings of every level, and a premium sump pump with battery backup. The exterior is 150-year-old reclaimed brick sourced from three North American sites, laid in traditional lime-based mortar with hand-scribed grapevine detailing, with limestone caps at every door and sill, crown moulding and a handcrafted lead-copper awning. Large Pella aluminum-clad wood windows bring in light and lasting efficiency. Inside, a custom 8' front door opens to solid white oak floors, a three-storey open staircase and ceilings of 10' on the main level, 9' upstairs and a 19' vault in the living room, anchored by a custom cast limestone mantel and gas fireplace. Solid-core doors (8' main, 7' upper), solid brass doorknobs, 7" poplar baseboards, live brass finishes and bespoke cabinetry show the care in every room. The kitchen features a Perrin & Rowe bridge faucet, hand-laid mosaic backsplash and quartz counters. Marble-tiled baths, a Restoration Hardware chandelier, whole-home dimmers, custom Roman shades, a laundry chute and a recirculating hot water system for near-instant hot water add everyday ease. Outside: full landscaping with irrigation, a heated saltwater pool and two 10x10 sheds with hydro and gas-ready provisions. Steps from Port Dalhousie's beach, marina, Henley rowing course and lakeside dining.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $796/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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In St. Catharines's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
