There are homes by the lake, and then there are homes that quietly rise above them. 1 Lakeside Drive, Unit 13 is part of the highly regarded Newport Quay community, a coastal-inspired enclave shaped by its immediate access to Jones Beach, the marina, and scenic walking trails. Inside, the home opens with a sense of scale that is sure to surprise. The foyer features a beautiful stained-glass detail on the front door and guides you to a bright kitchen and a grand dining room ready for everyday meals and memorable gatherings. Beyond it, a sweeping living room is the statement space of the main floor. A fireplace creates a natural focal point and a full wall of windows fills the room with light while offering a walkout to a private balcony. Move to the second floor where a skylight casts soft daylight into the hallway. This level is peaceful and private, beginning with a primary suite that can accommodate a king-sized bed with room to spare. Double closets provide exceptional storage, while the ensuite offers a separate shower and a relaxing bathtub. The second bedroom is equally inviting and offers its own double closet. A 4-piece bath completes the floor. The lower level features a rec room with a fireplace and a walkout to a private patio. This space works effortlessly as an office, craft room, or a guest area. A 2-piece bath, interior garage access, and a laundry room round out this level. Throughout the home, every finish contributes to its warm, polished character. Engineered hardwood in rich brown tones, chic tiles, soft carpets, and bright whites come together to create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and warm. Beyond the walls of the home, the community offers an inground pool and a charming gazebo set among lush landscaping, providing the perfect place to unwind. In a community where the rhythm of the lake sets the pace, this remains a refined retreat for those who appreciate the value of quiet luxury and a setting that elevates everyday living.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $493/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 16 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.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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.
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 $2,875 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
