This 1912 three-bed, one-bath house on Woodland Avenue gives you 1,346 square feet of living space with original wood trim and character that's hard to find these days. The main floor has a living room, dining room, and kitchen each around 11 by 12 feet or larger, plus a separate laundry room - rare for a home this age. Upstairs, the primary bedroom measures 10'11" by 11'4", with two more bedrooms that fit a double bed comfortably. The full basement is unfinished, but it's tall enough for storage or a future rec room. Big selling point is the 27-foot frontage and extra-deep lot - the backyard is massive, with a large rear deck already in place for summer barbecues. Recent updates include a new furnace, central air, and hot water tank in 2023, and the roof was replaced in 2019, so you won't have major expenses soon. You're a five-minute drive from downtown St. Catharines, with Montebello Park 1.3 km away and the Gatorade Garden City Complex just 1 km for sports. Ridley College is 2.2 km if that's on your radar. Priced at $519,900, which is above the nearby median of $419,900, but you're paying for the lot and location. The market's active - houses here sell in about 73 days on average. It's a well-kept home on a quiet street, ready for someone who appreciates old-school charm with modern updates.
