There is a calm that settles over 164A Lakeshore Road the moment you arrive, shaped by thoughtful architecture and a natural connection to the ravine below. Designed by Tom Arbek with Frank Lloyd Wright inspiration, the exterior carries a quiet elegance with a multi-level layout that follows the landscape with intention. That ease extends outdoors through decks that reach toward the ravine and gather shifting light throughout the day, while the inground pool rests among trees and bamboo accents. Perennials add beauty with minimal upkeep, for surroundings that feel effortless every season. Inside, light moves across the tall windows from sunrise into evening, guiding you through 3,235sqft of finished living space that feels both refined and welcoming. The foyer opens to the great room where height, warmth, and natural light anchor the home. The living area surrounds the fireplace and flows into the dining area and kitchen. Double built-in ovens, a glass cooktop, a bespoke smart fridge, a skylight, and a walk-out to the upper deck all contribute to a kitchen designed for gathering. The primary suite rests on this level with expansive windows, a walk-in closet, a 5-piece ensuite, and its own walk-out. A second bedroom, a 4-piece bath, and laundry and pantry complete the main level. The lower level offers flexibility to support different lifestyles. The in-law suite features tall ceilings, large windows, a family room with a fireplace, a kitchenette, and a bedroom with an ensuite. Another wing features a rec room, full kitchen, two bedrooms, and a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower, rain shower, and body jets. Both areas have separate entrances, creating opportunities for privacy, multigenerational living, dedicated guest quarters, or a home business. As a bonus, the basement offers 435sqft unfinished for storage. This home invites you to slow down, find inspiration in the landscape, and experience a way of living that feels both elevated and deeply grounded.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $660/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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 81 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for St. Catharines. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in St. Catharines.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
