Property Description

A rare gem in Hamilton’s prestigious Durand neighbourhood. Built in 1926, this stately 2.5-storey residence sits on an expansive 86.85 foot x 128.29 foot property, tucked below the Niagara Escarpment on a quiet dead-end street. Offering 3,102 square feet (above grade) of timeless elegance and modern convenience, this meticulously maintained home features 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. A classic centre-hall layout showcases stunning architectural details, including original woodwork and windows, preserving the home’s rich character & warmth. The main floor, with hardwood flooring & pot lighting throughout, boasts a formal foyer with a convenient 2 piece bath, a formal dining room with custom built-ins from the original butler’s pantry, and a sophisticated living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The open-concept kitchen, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a Viking gas range, is anchored by a large granite island, flowing seamlessly into the bright family room—ideal for entertaining & family living. A second 2 piece bathroom is located at the rear, while multiple windows overlook the backyard oasis, featuring a heated in-ground salt-water pool (2003), hot tub (2021), multi-tier stone patio, and lush green space with cascading ivy, mature trees & perennial blooms (landscaped in 2004). On the second level, find three spacious bedrooms, including one with a 4 piece ensuite bathroom, and an additional 3 piece bathroom with heated marble floors and a rain shower. The primary suite features original built-ins and an adjoining den—perfect as an office, library, or nursery. The finished 3rd level offers ample storage with three closets that run the hallway to the sunlit fourth bedroom. A spacious mudroom with soaring ceilings & floor-to-ceiling storage provides direct access from the driveway. The partially finished basement includes a rec room with a wood bar, 3 piece bathroom, and laundry with coat storage. As one of the Durand neighbourhood’s rare homes with a double-car garage and private double-wide driveway, parking is available for 6+ vehicles (Note: the double garage currently has a workshop room framed – can be removed if buyer desires). Located steps from Locke Street, parks, and top-rated schools, this home is a rare opportunity in one of Hamilton’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
