Beautifully updated while preserving its original character, this 2.5-storey home offers 4+1 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a detached garage, and beautifully finished living space across four levels. Refinished original hardwood floors, substantial trim, generous principal rooms, and a rare double staircase showcase the craftsmanship of the home's original design, while thoughtful updates bring comfort and functionality to everyday living. At the heart of the home is a professionally designed kitchen by Hamilton-based designers. Anchored by a striking arched range alcove, custom shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, unlacquered brass accents, a generous island, and a 6-burner gas range, it blends timeless design with everyday function. A newly added main-floor powder room complements the home's original design while adding modern convenience. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and an updated bathroom, while the finished loft can serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, or studio. The finished lower level features a den, full bathroom, wet bar, separate entrance, and additional finished living space. Outside, the private backyard extends the living space with mature landscaping, driveway parking for three vehicles, a detached garage, and a hot tub, creating an inviting setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying time at home. Perfectly positioned just steps from Gage Park and a short walk to Ottawa Street's cafs, restaurants, boutiques, schools, the Tropical Greenhouse, and everyday amenities, this home offers a walkable lifestyle with some of Hamilton's most beloved destinations just outside your door.
