About this property
Character, charm, and a corner lot that gives you something rare in this neighbourhood: space. Set on a prominent corner lot in one of Hamilton's most connected communities, this move-in ready century home offers the perfect blend of historic character and thoughtful updates. Unlike many homes in the area, the private driveway is tucked off a quiet rear side street, leaving the front and side yards free to enjoy. The result is exceptional curb appeal, a surprisingly spacious outdoor setting, and a side yard that feels like an extension of the home. Inside, you'll find a bright, welcoming layout with numerous updates already completed, including an updated kitchen, two renovated bathrooms, newer furnace, windows, attic insulation, electrical panel, appliances, roof, skylight, and more. Just move in and start enjoying the lifestyle this neighbourhood is known for. The detached garage offers far more than storage. Fully finished and serviced with power, it creates endless possibilities as a home office, studio, gym, workshop, games room, or the ultimate backyard entertaining space. An EV charging connection has already been installed for added convenience. Directly across the side street, Lifesavers park serves as a natural gathering place for neighbourhood residents, while the famous Bruce trail is steps away! Transit, shopping, hospitals, and schools make everyday living easy. Looking for future potential? The unfinished attic presents an exciting opportunity to create additional living space, while the basement offers room to expand and add value over time. This is the kind of home that's becoming increasingly difficult to find: character-filled, thoughtfully updated, loaded with potential, and situated on a lot that truly stands apart from the rest.
