5 Orchard Hl, Hamilton, ON L8P 2V6

Wonderful South-West gem located in a fabulous urban setting! Enjoy strolling through local walking trails or visiting the trendy Locke St. shops & cafes just around the corner. The welcoming front porch is a taste of the charm and character you'll discover inside. Beveled glass windows, spacious foyer, beautiful hardwood floors and a stunning formal dining room with a elegant mantle beckons you in. Featuring warm & inviting rich wood finishes, tall ceilings and thoughtfully updated throughout. The perfect place to call home. The expertly designed & renovated kitchen has fabulous granite counters & loads of cupboards. As part of the reimagining of the original layout the kitchen opens onto the versatile living room with its original decorative fireplace and gorgeous mantle - this will surely become the favourite spot for friends and family to gather. Upstairs the 2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms are spacious and each have a special character so everyone will enjoy picking their favourite. Another modern update is the second-floor laundry a real treat! Fall in love as you step outside onto the 2nd floor old-fashioned sleeping porch originally designed to help naturally cool during hot summer nights back before we had air conditioning. Now this charming, covered porch can serve lots of wonderful uses as you relax & delight in seeing the beautiful back garden from above. The second and third levels each have their own full baths and there is even a supplemental heat pump cooling system on the upper level. A standout extra is the recently finished basement. Professionally designed and renovated with incredible attention to detail so it can be either a family room, teen retreat or completely separate in-law suite. Basement upgrades include lowering of the floor (with all new drains) and installing in-floor heating using the on-demand high-efficiency gas hot water boiler. Finally, the bonus feature has to be the detached solid brick garage a rarity in this neighbourhood.
