22 Ursula Avenue, St. Catharines

Brace yourself - this property is a tough one to match. It oozes uniqness from top to bottom (and it's a tall house!), starting with the lot sitting on top of the Niagara Escarpment, offering the most stunning views of the city, sunsets, Lake Ontario and as far as the iconic Toronto Skyline found on post cards. The house was custom built by Gatta Homes, with 16.5ft angled ceilings and many extra design details. Upon entering, you step into a large open space main floor with a sitting area looking out to the yard, a bedroom, 3pc bathroom and laundry room (yes, also with views to the yard). A 48in wide staircase leads you upstairs where it's hard not to notice the views right away through the large 6.5ft high windows all around the open concept kitchen, living room & dining area. The kitchen is decked out with S/S appliances, built-in convection oven, ceramic stovetop with downward draft exhaust and an extra bar sink. The dining area is right by the balcony, giving you easy access to the natural gas BBQ and great views through the glass railings. There is also a 2pc bathroom for guests. The Master bedroom adds a touch of romance with its French doors and Juliette balcony looking out to the yard. The bedroom also has a walk-in closet, a skylight, and 4pc bathroom including jacuzzi tub with skylight above. Wait, there is more, another level up you will find the loft - make this your space - be it a comfy relax spot, workout/yoga area, or an office - do it while enjoying beautiful views at a height and feeling like you are atop the trees. Cool feature: it overlooks the entire 2nd floor - you just have to see it for yourself. The finished basement shows off a stone wall built from the original rocks from excavation and is big enough for an office, tv/games room, or has in-law potential, with a wet bar and an additional 3pc bathroom. The attached 1.5 car garage leads to the incredible backyard where you will enjoy the zen offered by the 60+ trees&shrubs added by the owner.
