9 Youngblut Avenue, St. Catharines

If you've been looking for a North End three-bedroom, two-bathroom, renovated home with a private, fenced backyard, this might be the one. 9 Youngblut Avenue is a solid brick three-level split on a large lot with mature trees and manicured landscaping.The bright main level has engineered hardwood floors, an open living and dining area, and a custom white Del Priore kitchen with stone-look laminate countertops and plenty of storage. Sliding doors off the dining area lead out to the back deck and into the yard. The primary bedroom is also on the main level, next to a renovated 4-piece bathroom with tile flooring and a fully tiled tub surround with glass doors. Up a few steps, two more bedrooms work well for family, guests or a home office.The finished lower level adds a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar with a sink, counter space and bar fridge. The second bathroom is a real showstopper, with a large walk-in tiled shower and Ceppostone flooring. There's plenty of storage too, including a laundry room, a utility room, and walk-up access to the attached garage.The backyard has an elevated deck, a big grassy area, mature shade trees and a landscaped seating nook with a custom-built wraparound bench, a great spot for a fire with friends or lounging out with a good book. The storage shed in the backyard adds extra space, and newer wood fencing keeps it private, with one panel that removes for easy yard access.Major updates include the furnace and A/C (2013), roof and windows (2014), plumbing upgrades in 2024 (new piping under the basement floor and a backwater valve), and a basement renovation in 2025-2026.
