You know that quiet, tree-lined stretch of Niagara Street near the canal? That's where this 4-bed, 2-bath (plus a powder room) house sits. It's a 1.5-storey with a big lot-50 by 106 feet-and a detached garage with space for five cars total. The real showstopper is the backyard: super private, feels like a cottage retreat. Inside, the main floor has an open living/dining/kitchen area that's bright and flows well, with modern finishes and no carpet anywhere. There's a main-floor primary bedroom, which is handy if you want guest space or a home office with separation from upstairs. Up top, you've got three more bedrooms and a full bath. The basement is unfinished and has a workshop space-perfect for storage or a future rec room. Forced air gas heating and central AC keep things comfy year-round. You're about a kilometre from Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School, and downtown St. Catharines is just a few minutes away. It's listed at $589,900, which actually sits right at the median for this neighbourhood-28 other places are on the market, with homes typically selling in about a month and a half. This one has solid bones and that killer yard; it just needs your personal touch. Vinyl siding on the outside means low maintenance. If you're after a spot with character and space, it's worth a look.
