Exceptional opportunity to own a legal duplex with a separate basement apartment, offering strong income potential and immediate upside. This well-maintained multi-unit property features three self-contained residential units, with two units currently vacant, allowing the new owner to secure market rents immediately or occupy one unit while generating income from the others. Unit 1 (Main Floor): Bright and spacious 1-bedroom apartment. Unit 2 (Upper Level): Large 3-bedroom apartment featuring an expansive finished attic space, ideal for a home office, recreation room, additional living area, or storage. Unit 3 (Basement): Renovated 1-bedroom apartment, updated approximately one year ago. The property previously generated approximately $4,700/month in gross rental income, with rents of approximately $1,400/month (Unit 1), $2,100/month (Unit 2), and $1,250/month (Unit 3). Tenants pay their own utilities, helping minimize operating expenses, and the property benefits from two separate hydro meters. Ideal for investors seeking strong cash flow and long-term appreciation or owner-occupants looking for a mortgage helper, this property offers exceptional flexibility and income-generating potential. The vacant units provide an immediate opportunity to maximize returns based on current market conditions. Conveniently located just minutes from Hamilton General Hospital, the future LRT corridor along Highway 8/Main Street East, West Harbour GO Station, Downtown Hamilton, schools, parks, shopping, public transit, and major commuter routes.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $294/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Hamilton's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Hamilton are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Hamilton.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Hamilton properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,454 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
