Ever walk into a home and just know it’s the one? When it feels like everything was designed and made just for you? Yup, this is that home. A jaw-dropping, fully renovated gem in Hamilton’s hottest up-and-coming neighbourhood; James St N, this place blends timeless charm with magazine-worthy style. With swanky 10 ft ceilings, original trim work, "the ladies" (a hidden architectural gem) and over 2400 square feet of finished living space tailored to your every want and desire. Every inch has been thoughtfully designed with high-end finishes—think 8 ft doors, exposed brick, sexy engineered hardwood, heated Tile Entry, custom cabinetry, and designer fixtures that make you want to pinch yourself. The open-concept main floor flows like the holy grail for hosting epic dinner parties leading into a speakeasy-vibed basement for cozy movie nights with scotch in hand or a glass of red. Who knew you could have a walk in closet in a house that is almost 150 years old, well yes you can! And that bathroom, whoa! I don't know about you but you’ll have a hard time trying to decide between the luxury two person shower or a relaxing tubby! Good thing you have the rest of your life to live in hotel luxury. Lets not forget the custom designed backyard, there has been many a cookout on that smoker while sipping the latest bubbly. It’s not your typical downtown patio vibes, you get a show stopping ADU-style garage, featured in the Globe and Mail. Your ticket to a chic home office, creative yoga studio, or bike garage, I mean you could squeeze a Mini Coops in there if you wanted. Steps from the vibrant James St N and all your fav restos, a quick 500m stroll to West Harbour GO Station for all you commuters and you’re plugged into the best of urban living—trendy eateries, boutiques, and transit galore. With this neighbourhood set to be Hamilton’s crown jewel in 5 years, this isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle you’ll fall head over heels for. Don’t miss your chance to own the future.
