305 GATE STREET

Known to locals simply as The White Garden House, 305 Gate Street is the property everyone slows down to look at in Old Town Niagara-On-The-Lake. Custom Built in 1998 to capture the stature and grace of a grand historic Colonial, it commands the street with striking symmetry, highlighted by crisp white siding, classic black shutters and wide borders of vibrant flowers tracing the wrought-iron fence. Its defining feature is a deep, wrap-around veranda with pure Southern soul, built not just for show-stopping curb appeal, but for slow mornings and long evenings watching the town drift by. Just a step through the front door and the home immediately opens into something far grander than expected. While formal entertaining and a den/library space anchor the front, everyday living centres on a dramatic two-storey great room where expansive windows pull the surrounding tree canopy right inside. A towering custom mantel anchors the fireplace while French doors swing wide to the veranda, making indoor/outdoor hosting effortless. The adjoining kitchen and sun-drenched breakfast bay share the same spectacular garden perspective. Upstairs, find restful generously sized guest quarters and a primary wing designed to be a true retreat, crowned by its ensuite centred by a deep bay-window soaking tub. Out back, the grounds unfold across a rare 1/3 acre Old Town parcel wrapped in mature shade trees framed around artisan dining pergolas, rolling lawns, and a storybook garden bridge crossing a gentle stream. All of this sits just a short, picturesque stroll from Queen Street's boutiques, world-class dining, an enchanting evening at the Shaw Festival, and the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages along the gorgeous tree-lined Old Town. A short drive brings you to more than 40 premier wineries. This home is meticulously cared for, and it symbolizes quintessential Niagara-on-the-Lake living while providing the most rare opportunity to own a home everyone in town knows and admires.
