Beyond a discreet tree-lined street in the heart of prestigious Old Glenridge lies one of Niagara's most extraordinary private estates - a rare offering where timeless elegance, architectural character, and breathtaking natural surroundings exist in perfect harmony. Set on 2 acres overlooking the serene 12 Mile Creek ravine, this landmark residence presents an exceptional lifestyle defined by privacy, sophistication, and understated luxury. Moments from Ridley College, downtown St. Catharines, fine dining, golf, vineyards, and the Niagara Escarpment, the estate offers the rare privilege of secluded resort-style living within the city. The home masterfully balances historic charm with refined contemporary design and an uncompromising attention to detail - from rich white oak flooring and bespoke millwork to designer lighting, elegant fireplaces, and expansive windows framing tranquil ravine vistas. Principal rooms are both grand and intimate, designed for entertaining as well as relaxed everyday living. Chef's kitchen at the heart of the home, seamlessly connects to elegant gathering spaces and outdoor terraces, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. The grounds are nothing short of spectacular - an enchanting private sanctuary featuring mature canopy trees, manicured gardens, winding pathways, and panoramic views over protected natural landscape. A heated inground pool and multiple outdoor entertaining areas evoke the atmosphere of an exclusive countryside retreat. Adding to the estate's remarkable versatility is a beautifully appointed carriage house suite above the heated four-car garage, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, executive office space, wellness studio, or private retreat. Rarely does a property of this calibre become available in Niagara - where architectural significance, substantial land, luxury amenities, and an irreplaceable ravine setting converge so effortlessly. More than a residence, this is a legacy estate. (id:61445)
