About this home
Welcome to 542 Lake Street, a warm and inviting brick bungalow in one of north St. Catharines' most convenient locations. Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot surrounded by mature trees, this home offers the space, comfort and practicality that makes bungalow living so appealing. Inside, you'll find 3+1 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of finished living space. The bright living room features hardwood floors and a large picture window, while the spacious eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and room for everyday family meals. Three bedrooms, a full bathroom and convenient main-floor laundry make single-level living easy. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level provides a whole second living space with a large rec room, charming exposed brick, cozy gas fireplace, fourth bedroom or home office, a second full bathroom and workshop. The home is comfortably heated by the gas furnace and fireplace; the supplemental baseboard heaters are not required for normal heating. Outside, mature landscaping creates a lovely sense of privacy, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the yard. An attached garage with interior entry and generous storage is complemented by two driveway entrances, from Lake Street and Prince Edward Street, with parking for four vehicles. The owned solar panels generate additional income (approximately $2,591 in 2025). Major updates include roof (2018), windows (2009), A/C (2012), Trane furnace (2003), solar panels (2013), plus updated bathrooms, kitchen cabinetry and interior/exterior doors. All of this in an established north-end neighbourhood close to shopping, schools, parks and trails, with Lake Ontario and Port Dalhousie just minutes away. A comfortable, spacious home, a fantastic location.
