You're going to want to keep this deal to yourself and move quickly. A rare find in Westdale; a fully upgraded home without losing its soul. Offering incredible value in this sought-after pocket. A quiet, established street surrounded by character homes, mature trees, and everything that makes this neighbourhood so desirable. Inside, the home is bright and warm with character where you want it and modern updates where you need them. The kind of place that immediately feels livable, not like a project in disguise. Comprehensively updated where it matters most: kitchen, baths, systems, exterior, and layout (2018). The main floor interior was taken back to the studs and rebuilt focusing on quality and longevity. It's comfortable and finished in a way that works well day to day. The main floor windows, doors, shingles, soffit, eaves, facia, exterior paint, re-built porch, Ipe decking, pergola w/ electrical, lighting, low maintenance gardens, and garage rebuild with new pad, insulation, power, ventilation and shed, all in 2018. Exposed Aggregate and ext waterproofing and weeping tiles in 2015. Furnace in 2020. Backflow valve in 2025. The heavy lifting has already been done. No drawn-out to-do list. Just move in and fall in love. The location does what Westdale does best. Walkable, established, and easy to live in. Walkable to the top schools (Westdale, Cootes, and Dalewood), parks, and everyday amenities, with McMaster University just minutes away. It has doubled as a very successful Airbnb which adds tremendous long term value. And we're offering $100/sqft less than the recent sales! This is a steal of a deal and everything about this lovely home makes it well worth a visit!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $745/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.
Market Position
At 41 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
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 $3,416 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
