About this home

A Masterpiece of Historic Restoration. One of Hamilton's finest homes, meticulously restored and reimagined to pair more than a century of architectural character with today's luxurious finishes, craftsmanship, and technology. Nestled on an exclusive street of only nine residences, this extraordinary three-storey home is set on a spectacular 0.48-acre private treed lot, backing onto the iconic Bruce Trail atop the Niagara Escarpment. Offering over 4,200 sq. ft. of finished living space, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms, this one-of-a-kind residence seamlessly blends historic elegance with contemporary luxury. Architecturally designed, the home showcases soaring 10-foot ceilings, expansive open-concept living spaces, and picturesque views of the landscaped grounds. At its heart is a custom chef's kitchen featuring premium appliances, an oversized island, a butler's pantry, and access to multiple outdoor entertaining areas. Rich in character and refined detail, the home also offers elegant principal rooms, restored fireplaces, a private library, home theatre, and wine room. Crowning the residence is an exceptional third-floor primary retreat with a spa-inspired ensuite, walk-in closet, and breathtaking Escarpment views. Virtually every aspect has been meticulously renovated, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, windows, roofing, smart-home technology, security, and mechanical systems-providing the comfort and efficiency of a modern luxury home while preserving its timeless architecture. Located steps from St. Joseph's Hospital, Augusta Street, James Street South, the Escarpment Stairs, parks, restaurants, cafés, and downtown Hamilton, this remarkable residence offers an unmatched lifestyle within a secluded enclave beneath the Niagara Escarpment-an exceptionally private setting in the heart of the city. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Hamilton's most distinguished residences. Luxury Certified.
