It's a short walk west into downtown St Catharines from this 1.5-storey house on a 35x100 lot near the corner of Hamilton and Church. Ridley College is roughly a kilometre away, and Montebello Park is about 15 minutes on foot, so the location is solid for families or anyone wanting walkability. The place has 3 beds and 2 baths across about 1,400 square feet, with a partially finished basement that gives you extra room for a rec space or office. Inside it's updated: the kitchen has quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, and the bathrooms feel fresh. There's hardwood on the main floor, and the windows are newer, which helps with the heating bills. The backyard is a decent size and includes a small deck plus a garden shed. Parking's not an issue either, with 3 spaces in the driveway and no garage to worry about. The exterior is aluminum siding, low maintenance, and the roof was done roughly 5 years ago. Priced at $544,888, it's slightly under the $559k median for the area, and homes here are selling in about 49 days on average. Taxes run $3,003 a year, which is reasonable for this part of town. If you need the GO Train, the station is about 2 kilometres away. It's not flashy, but it's practical and well-kept. Worth a look if you're tired of cookie-cutter builds.
