For sale: Detached

Drawn back from view at the end of a long, private driveway, this 2-storey, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on an extraordinary 1.80-acre lot (199 ft frontage x 426 ft depth) on one of St. Catharines' most sought-after streets. Surrounded by mature trees and perched on the bank overlooking Fifteen Mile Pond, this property delivers a level of privacy and natural setting that's genuinely hard to find this close to the city. Step outside to your own private oasis: a fire pit and seating area for evenings under the trees, and a large, screened in sun-filled sunroom taking in the pond and the wildlife around it, in complete quiet. Inside, a large wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, adding warmth and character to match the setting outside. At 2,041 square feet, the home itself is well cared for and comfortably livable as-is, offering a great canvas to add your own cosmetic updates and personal touches over time - the real value here is the land and the setting around it.Practical features abound: a heated 2-car garage with full electrical, a separate work shed for lawn equipment and tools, and 8+ parking spaces in total - plenty of room for a growing collection of vehicles, toys, or guests.
