305 Gate Street

About This Property

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.
