Tucked into a quiet, established, family-friendly street on the central mountain, this solid all-brick bungalow offers comfort, flexibility, and a true sense of home. Lovingly maintained over the years, it's the kind of property where pride of ownership is evident at every turn. Clean, cared for, and ready for its next chapter. The main floor features a bright eat-in kitchen with classic oak cabinetry, a spacious living room, and a formal dining area that was originally a third bedroom, could be easily converted back if needed. Two well-sized bedrooms and a full four-piece bath complete the level, with a blend of ceramic and hardwood flooring throughout. A separate side entrance adds valuable flexibility for extended family or a private space for teens, with a finished lower level that includes a second kitchen and a three-piece bath. The rec room carries a warm retro charm, while an oversized cold cellar, laundry/utility area, and additional storage provide everyday practicality. Outside, enjoy a long private driveway with ample parking, a rear wood deck, green space, and a garden shed, ideal for family living, entertaining, or simply unwinding outdoors. With updated windows, roof, eaves, soffits, and fascia, this is a well-cared-for home in great condition. Perfect for first-time buyers, families, or downsizers looking for one-floor living in a convenient location close to schools, parks, transit, and everyday amenities.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $943/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Hamilton market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 64 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Hamilton. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
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 $2,750 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
