257 Lakeshore Rd, Saint Catharines, ON L2M 1R9

If you're on the hunt for a north-end home that offers a bit more character and charm, then look no further than 257 Lakeshore Road. Built in 1955, this brick, 1.5 storey home has a spacious floor plan with approximately 1,750 sq. ft. above grade, plus a fully finished basement, which brings the total finished living space to nearly 2,500 sq. ft.. The 60' x 121' property allows for a nice-sized backyard, a detached 1.5 garage (24' deep), and a double concrete driveway with parking for eight cars. THE INTERIOR: welcome your guests into the front foyer, which leads into the open main living area. The living room, with a gas fireplace, is on your right, while the dining room is on your left. At nearly 32' wide, this area is one of many features that make this home unique. You'll love the fully renovated kitchen, with highlights: cabinets to the ceiling, a pantry cupboard with pull-out drawers, quartz counters, an island, loads of pot drawers, tiled backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting. There is a bonus room on the main floor, easily used as a 4th bedroom, home office (built-in cabinets), or den. Upstairs is complete with three bedrooms, and a 4-piece bathroom. The primary bedroom is a comfortable 15'10" x 13'7". The basement is fully finished with a large rec room (with gas stove fireplace), a bonus room, a fully finished laundry room, and another full bathroom. THE LOCATION: One of the crown jewels of the north end is the Walkers Creek trail system, which is steps away from the front door. Head north on the trail and you're at the lakefront before you know it. Want fresh fruit & veg in the summer? A quick trip over the canal and you'll find amazing roadside produce stands. Metal roof (2015 w/50-yr transferable warranty). All windows upgraded to vinyl. 100-amp breaker panel. Check out the YouTube video!
