Character. Craftsmanship. Possibility. Welcome to 16 Bruce Street, a circa-1895 solid-brick home in coveted Durand South, thoughtfully updated while preserving the architectural details that make it special. Soaring 11' ceilings, original/inlaid oak floors and pocket doors retain the home's period character. The bright main floor features a light-filled living room with gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling bay windows with custom triple-pane Danish glass, plus a separate dining room. The well-equipped kitchen offers a Wolf range, heated floors, extensive cabinetry, pantry storage and convenient main-floor laundry. An architect-led renovation completed in consultation with Hamilton Heritage Homes included foundation work, redesigned bay windows, custom windows and a European oak front door. Upstairs are 3 especially spacious bedrooms and a family bath. The generous primary features beautiful European black-framed windows, while the other 2 bedrooms are also notably spacious. The attic includes a 3-piece bath rough-in with potential for future finished living space. Professionally landscaped front and rear gardens feature native and pollinator-friendly plantings for beautiful seasonal colour. The private backyard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with a gas line at the back porch for outdoor cooking. A detached 2-car garage with Hess Street access plus an additional parking space provides parking for 3 vehicles - a rare Hamilton feature. The garage offers future accessory-building, studio or flexible-space potential, subject to municipal approvals. Walk to Hamilton's best cafs and restaurants, St. Joseph's Healthcare, the GO Train, shops, parks and trails. (id:24093)
