61 Rosedale Avenue, St. Catharines, ON L2P 1Y6

Move-in ready, extensively updated, and surrounded by beautiful mature gardens, this detached home offers something increasingly hard to find: a comfortable home with inviting outdoor living and many of the major improvements already taken care of. The property was unaffected by the recent flooding, offering additional peace of mind for buyers. Set in the walkable Secord Woods/Merritton community, close to parks, schools, shopping, restaurants, transit and commuter routes, the home features a bright living room with large windows, dining area, main-floor bedroom and 2-piece powder room. The spacious custom kitchen was installed in 2021 with white shaker cabinetry, tile backsplash, island and stainless steel appliances, while hidden laundry with stackable washer and dryer keeps everyday living convenient. Upstairs, a remodelled staircase leads to the spacious primary bedroom and a bright, updated 5-piece bathroom. Outside is where this property really stands apart. Mature landscaping surrounds a private, fenced backyard designed for relaxing and entertaining, with two decks (2018), pergola (2023), and a bridge spanning the landscaped pond (2021; aerator 2023). The hydro-equipped Wellness Shed received new subflooring and flooring in 2026, creating a flexible bonus space for wellness, hobbies or a quiet retreat. Private driveway parking accommodates three vehicles. Extensive improvements include roof shingles (2017), interior doors (2017), exterior doors (2017-2025), updated fencing and landscaping (2018), pot lighting and custom window treatments (2018), driveway (2019), central air (2022), forced-air gas furnace (2026), and windows replaced between 2017-2025 with the exception of two front windows, plus an additional window added in 2025.

A thoughtfully improved home with character, privacy and outdoor space-ready for its next owner to simply move in and make it theirs.
