9 NICHOLAS DRIVE — St. Catharines (Rykert/Vansickle), Ontario

Absolutely immaculate, meticulously kept two plus one bedroom bungalow of 1,795 square feet, set in a desirable West End neighbourhood. Great curb appeal starting at the covered front porch, coloured concrete drive with stamped borders, and matching walkways leading to a huge private patio with no rear neighbours. Inside, a dramatic 17-foot foyer with elegant chandelier opens to a showpiece living and dining space with vaulted ceilings, maple hardwood, a gas fireplace, and custom built-in dining cabinetry. The skylit kitchen offers ample cabinetry and prep space, a large island with two-sided breakfast bar, and a dinette that flows through terrace doors to the bright, enclosed three-season sunroom overlooking that massive patio. Just off the kitchen, there's a convenient main floor laundry room and a separate second kitchen with gas stove and freezer. Maple hardwood continues into both bedrooms. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite, while the second bedroom is served by a nearby four-piece bath. The lower level offers a huge finished living area just awaiting flooring, an incredible blank canvas for a games room, home theatre, extra bedrooms, or in-law potential. It also includes a third bedroom, a three-piece bath, huge cold cellar, utility room, and extra storage. Additional features include California shutters throughout, roof shingles 2019, an owned hot water heater and softener, furnace, A/C 2004, sump pump with backup, and a 20-foot by 20-foot double garage.
