Three Bedrooms and a Modern Bathroom
Upstairs, the home offered three bedrooms and a modern four-piece bathroom. Keeping the bedrooms together on the second floor provided a practical and traditional townhouse layout.
The refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer were also included with the property at the time of the sale.

Condo Townhouse Living in St. Catharines
Although this property had the layout and outdoor space many buyers associate with a traditional townhouse, it was a condominium. That distinction matters. Condo buyers need to consider maintenance fees, common elements, condominium rules and the financial health of the corporation alongside the condition of the individual home.
The property also demonstrates the variety of housing available across the city. If you’re comparing different parts of St. Catharines, our St. Catharines Neighbourhoods for GTA Buyers guide looks at the character, housing and trade-offs of different areas across the city.
