For sale: Detached

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just off Pelham Road, 16 Elk Street feels worlds away from the city-yet everything St. Catharines has to offer is only minutes from your door. Set on a remarkable 1.62-acre property surrounded by mature trees, the backyard offers the privacy and peaceful atmosphere of a Muskoka retreat. Wake to sunlight streaming through the home's large windows and deer grazing in the backyard. Spend evenings on the composite deck, relaxing in the swim spa beside a beautiful 'Princess Elizabeth' magnolia while taking in views of the Brock Tower in the distance. From your own property, hike down to the Twelve Mile Creek Trail and walk to Rotary Park. The all-brick raised bungalow offers 3+1 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and just under 2,000 square feet of finished living space, providing plenty of room for your family to grow. A solid poured-concrete foundation, all brick exterior, paved double-wide driveway and attached drive-through garage with front and rear doors add lasting quality and everyday convenience. More than a home, 16 Elk Street is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and escape the busyness of life without leaving the city. Please note: some photos have been virtually staged.
