A NEWER CUSTOM-BUILT home in an established North End neighbourhood - a combination that's not easy to find. Built in 2015, this beautifully maintained walkout bungalow offers the comfort and efficiency of newer construction without giving up the mature surroundings and convenient location buyers love. Just minutes from Port Dalhousie, Lake Ontario, waterfront trails, parks, shopping, restaurants and everyday amenities, it's ideally positioned for enjoying the best of North St. Catharines. Inside, the home was thoughtfully designed for effortless ONE-FLOOR LIVING. Soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and oversized windows create a bright, open feel, while the granite kitchen with large island overlooks the dining and living areas and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. The primary bedroom, second bedroom, two full bathrooms and laundry are all conveniently located on the main floor. The walkout lower level adds a finished third bedroom and an expansive unfinished area ready for whatever comes next, with plumbing in place for a future bathroom and excellent potential for additional living space or an in-law suite. Spray foam insulation contributes to an exceptionally quiet, energy-efficient interior. Outside, enjoy an upper deck, covered stone patio, wood-fired oven, mature gardens and NO REAR NEIGHBOURS.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $599/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.
Market Position
At 40 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.
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.

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 $3,746 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
