11 WILLVER DRIVE

Charming from the street and far more versatile than its façade first suggests, this 11/2-storey semi sits on a large pie-shaped lot, in a wonderfully walkable pocket of north St. Catharines. Sunset Beach, waterfront parks and trails, the Welland Canal and Port Weller community centre are all within easy reach on foot or by bike.

Inside, the unusual layout offers two excellent primary-bedroom options: a main-floor bedroom with direct ensuite privilege, plus an upper level devoted entirely to a private bedroom and full bath. Bright living and dining spaces open to the rear deck and treed setting, while the high-and-dry finished basement adds an unexpectedly generous amount of living space, including a large recreation room with gas fireplace and additional finished space for guests, a home office, hobbies or whatever life requires next. Sit on your shady front porch, on this quiet cul de sac and enjoy a country feel, within easy reach of a city that offers world class amenities.

Drive to wineries, golf, theater, outlets then come home and stroll down to the beach for year round sunset views. With 2+1 bedrooms, 2 full baths, flexible living on three levels and a remarkably private lot close to some of the city's best outdoor amenities, this is a home that offers much more than first meets the eye. Easy access to Niagara on the Lake and other Niagara destinations make this home feel like a permanent staycation.
