7 Glenayr Place, St. Catharines

The magic of 7 Glenayr Place happens before you walk through its slate blue front door. It happens before you turn onto its quiet cul-de-sac, set under the canopy of mature trees that line Glenayr Place. It happens as soon as you enter its neighbourhood of South Glenridge, tucked along the Niagara Escarpment and the banks of Twelve Mile Creek, featuring the city's masterpiece collection of Mid-Century Modern architecture; 7 Glenayr Place is undeniably one of its standouts. Custom-built in 1963 by its current loving owner on a generous pie-shaped lot, this home was constructed with pride + family at the forefront. Spanning 2000 SQFT over 4 thoughtful levels, the layout creates pockets of living any family would appreciate. Inside its bright foyer, find a great room with vaulted ceilings + picture windows of the mature gardens. A pass-through from the kitchen connects the dining room and adds to the architectural fun of living in a piece of art. Built-in double oven + cooktop, cabinetry, arborite counters, and high ceilings make thoughtful use of the galley kitchen. Upstairs, find 3 roomy bedrooms with original hardwood flooring, doors + trim, 4-piece bath with ensuite privilege and custom vanity, filled with natural light from the skylight. Heading to the lower level is an absolute treat, featuring a den with built-in aquarium + bookshelves, perfect for listening to records or a bedroom for guests, as a 3-piece bath with MCM charm just across the hall. The centerpiece is the 'rumpus room', with Rosewood panelling, flagstone built-in wood fireplace, and the coolest lounge equipped with a wet bar, ready for cocktails with all your cool friends. Outdoor highlights: original breezeblock + terrazzo tile patio, potting shed, a sunny corner with veggie gardens. Important details: aluminum roof, triple-glazed/tinted windows (2021), eavestroughs, fascia, soffits, leaf guards, ice shield (2017), hot water boiler with A/C (2016), perfect period details (1963).
