5 Bendingroad Cres. St Catharines On L2n 5r4

There's something really practical about a backsplit. It gives everyone room to be together, while still giving you plenty of space to retreat, relax and do your own thing. Tucked into a family-friendly north end pocket, 5 Bendingroad Crescent is a short walk to Linlake Park access (100m, truly "a stone's throw" away), plus central to everyday shopping, highway access and Port Dalhousie. Inside, the open dining room leads to the kitchen which has oak cabinetry, an island, and enough room to actually cook without bumping elbows. Next to that, a large living room with hardwood floors gives you a proper spot to land at the end of the day. Head up a few steps and you're on the upper level, also hardwood, with three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Now here's where the backsplit earns its keep... the lower-level stays mostly above grade, so the windows are large with lots of natural light. This isn't a basement that feels like a basement. This level has a full bathroom, a bedroom or office, and a family room with a gas fireplace, plus a walk-out to the covered patio. Descend one more flight to discover an entirely self-contained bonus zone. Perfect for multi-generational living, a university student, or long-term guests, this level features a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, a two-piece bathroom, and a a partially finished room ready to become a private living room or fifth bedroom. It also includes a direct walk-up into the garage for easy, independent access. Outside, the fenced backyard has plenty of room to enjoy. Mature shrubbery, lawn, a patio, space for established garden beds to grow your own fruits and vegetables, and a large shed for all the outdoor toys. There's also a man door from the backyard into the garage, which is one of those little details you'll appreciate. There is a lot of love about this home and location!
