From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the inviting covered front porch, striking red front door, updated vinyl siding and double-pane vinyl windows that give the home outstanding curb appeal. Step inside to a bright and welcoming foyer featuring fresh paint and newer flooring. The spacious living room showcases beautiful trim work and crown moulding before leading into the separate dining room, where an exposed brick chimney, updated lighting and large windows create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with stainless steel appliances, shaker-style cabinetry accented with gold hardware and an abundance of storage.

Situated in one of St. Catharines' up-and-coming neighbourhoods, this move-in-ready home is conveniently located close to highway access, downtown restaurants and cafés, shopping, parks and many other everyday amenities.
