Exceptional opportunity in the sought-after Westcliffe neighborhood on Hamilton Mountain. This well-maintained home has been owned and cared for by the same family for over 50 years, reflecting true pride of ownership. Set on a large lot within a low-traffic court, the property offers rare depth and privacy. The main floor features a spacious eat-in kitchen with ample storage, large windows, and backyard views. The living and dining area with original hardwood flooring and a fireplace is filled with natural light, an excellent setting for entertaining. A main floor den provides flexibility for a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom. The second floor includes four bedrooms, with one currently converted to a convenient second-floor laundry (easily reverted if desired). Original hardwood flooring remains beneath the upstairs carpet. The walk-out basement offers a retro 1970s rec room with wood paneling and a fireplace, creating a gathering space full of character. Bsmt also includes a second kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and separate entrance, well-suited for an in-law suite or income potential. Exterior features include a concrete driveway and a walkway to the backyard. The elevated rear deck overlooking the yard and views toward Hamilton and Lake Ontario creates an almost country-like setting within the city. Unlike new subdivisions, this property features a larger lot within an established setting. Close to schools, shopping, transit, parks, trails, Chedoke stairs, and recreation centers, with quick highway access. A rare opportunity on Hamilton Mountain. See the feature sheet for details.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $593/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.
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 $3,706 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
