Welcome to 18 Lincoln Ave, St. Catharines-a true forever home in a quiet, established pocket where neighbours stay for decades. Thoughtfully updated, well maintained, and filled with a calm energy, this home blends everyday comfort with smart design for families, multi-generational living, and income potential.The standout feature is the spacious addition that transforms the main floor: an open-concept kitchen that anchors the home, flows into the living space, and opens to the backyard for entertaining. The main-floor primary bedroom is a rare and valuable layout upgrade, paired with a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, a heated towel rack, and clean, modern finishes. Soundproofing throughout the addition and around the primary suite adds the quiet you can feel. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom-perfect for kids, guests, or a dedicated home office. The bonus that's getting harder to find: a brand new, never-occupied in-law suite with its own separate entrance, kitchenette, and bathroom. Ideal for extended family, independent teens, overnight guests, or a smart mortgage helper.Outside, the fully landscaped backyard is designed to host. Enjoy a built-in brick BBQ with sink, running water and power, an outdoor kitchen setup, plus a shed with electrical and water service. The concrete driveway adds curb appeal and practicality, while durable exterior finishes and smart drainage details help keep water moving where it should.Practical upgrades continue behind the scenes with an owned tankless on-demand water heater and a water manifold system that functions like "breakers" for your plumbing-allowing individual hot and cold lines to be shut off to specific areas of the home. With a 200-amp electrical panel, there's room for modern living and future needs. Close to downtown, highways, schools, golf, and the Pen Centre- and still tucked away from the noise. Come see it in person to experience the space, the flow, and the amazing feeling. (id:2493)
