Set in a highly desirable North St. Catharines neighbourhood, this thoughtfully renovated backsplit home backs directly onto Realty Park - a rare find that brings everyday green space, a playground, and open sky right to your back door. A private gate in the fence gives you direct access to the park and connects seamlessly to Walker's Creek Trail, meaning morning walks, after-school playground runs, and weekend trail rides are steps away without ever touching a sidewalk. Completely remodelled in 2021, the interior is finished with high-end engineered hardwood flooring and quartz countertops throughout - no mixed materials, no shortcuts. The main level is open-concept with a well-proportioned kitchen, dining, and living area that gets strong natural light throughout the day. Upstairs holds three comfortable bedrooms and a full five-piece bathroom. The lower level adds a fourth bedroom and a large family room - either kids' space, a home office, or a guest suite - plus a three-piece bath. The basement level completes the layout with a rec room, a four-piece bathroom, a laundry room and a fifth bedroom - flexible enough for a gym, activity room, or multi-generational living. Outside, the backyard is quiet and private, with park views and no rear neighbours. An attached garage and private driveway complete the package. Groceries, medical care, fitness, and dining are all three minutes away. The QEW, Fairview Mall, and the Lake Ontario waterfront are all within five minutes. This is a home that works hard for daily life - book a private showing to see it for yourself. Picture a Saturday morning - coffee in hand, kids already through the back gate before you've finished breakfast. The backyard opens directly onto Realty Park through a private fence gate. No sidewalk, no road, just grass, open sky, a playground, and Walker's Creek Trail stretching out in both directions. After school, that same gate means twenty minutes of fresh air before dinner without a second thought.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1228/sqft, this property is priced above the St. Catharines average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
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.
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.
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 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.
