Welcome to 21 Trapnell Road, a beautifully renovated 850 sf 3-bedroom bungalow where the work has already been done. Approximately $100,000 was invested in extensive renovations in 2024, creating a bright, modern and move-in-ready home. The main floor features new flooring throughout, pot lights and a freshly painted neutral interior. The kitchen was opened to the living space and completely updated with new cabinetry, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, while the renovated bathroom features a glass shower and contemporary finishes. New windows, blinds and doors complete the interior updates. Outside, improvements include new siding, a reconfigured front porch, spacious rear deck with railings, new shed and extensive concrete work extending from the private driveway right through to the backyard. The driveway provides parking for three vehicles, while the fenced backyard offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy. Additional improvements include furnace and A/C (2019), owned hot water tank and basement waterproofing. The basement, with approximately 5-foot ceiling height, provides laundry, utility area and useful additional storage space. The enclosed back porch was previously a laundry area and could be converted back. This home is an excellent option for first-time buyers, downsizers or anyone looking for an affordable home without a long renovation list. Set on a quiet, family-friendly dead-end street close to parks, schools and shopping, with quick and easy highway access.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $641/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.
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.
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.
