Welcome to 7 Vivian, a beautifully updated home tucked away on a quiet street in a desirable north St. Catharines neighbourhood. This charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been extensively renovated and shows incredibly well, offering a stylish, move-in-ready option for buyers looking for something easy to maintain without sacrificing outdoor space. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen, renovated bathrooms, newer flooring, and thoughtful finishes throughout. And, the addition of a smart lighting system throughout the house is icing on the cake. Step outside to the large covered rear deck, creating a fantastic extension of the living space for relaxing, dining and entertaining. There's even exciting potential to explore a second-storey deck above, which could make this outdoor space even more unique. But the real standout is the incredible 150-foot-deep lot. With this much backyard space, there is endless opportunity to garden, entertain, create an amazing outdoor retreat or simply enjoy a level of space that's increasingly hard to find. Add in two large sheds, with power, and a rough in bathroom beside the furnace area to complete the already finished basement. A beautifully finished home, an exceptional lot and a peaceful north-end location - 7 Vivian packs a lot into a very special property.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $743/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 28 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.
