Porch, beams and chandeliers on a deep lot

Character details and a bright, updated kitchen make this white-brick home easy to settle into.

A covered front porch in white brick sets the tone, with room for chairs and a quiet morning coffee. Inside, the living and dining rooms flow together beneath crown mouldings, a dark timber beam and crystal chandeliers. The kitchen is bright and fresh, with white cabinetry, a tile backsplash and an island with seating. A second counter-and-cabinet area at the back adds useful flexibility. Out back, the yard is deep and framed by mature trees.

Weekend hikes start at the Niagara Gorge trailhead nearby, and Niagara Falls GO makes commuting straightforward. Cafés and restaurants are a short stroll away.
