Here's your opportunity for country living in St. Catharines, with a home ready for your personal touches. At 0.8 acres and with a detached large double garage, there's plenty of room to work or play. Current layout is livable, but a quick renovation of the main floor could make this house spectacular. Professional reno plans have been created and can be included. What's here already includes new furnace and sump pump (2025), updated windows and shingles, and a full home Generac generator providing security and peace of mind. Unfinished wide open basement means you can add a family room or additional bedrooms without demolition. Set amongst the west St. Catharines orchards, with very quick access to the QEW at Seventh Street and from there endless opportunities. Have youngsters? Woodland School is steps away! The garage offers versatility with hydro, and it's own central vacuum!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $928/sqft, this property is priced in line with current St. Catharines market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
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.
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.
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 $2,708 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
