Century charm, fully renovated. Built in 1925 and completely updated in 2026, this detached 1.5-storey brick home in Hamilton's Stipley neighbourhood is ready to move in. Just shy of 1,300 sq ft, it offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The covered front porch leads inside to an open living and dining area with large windows, wide-plank hickory engineered hardwood flooring and a keyless entry lock. The majority of the windows were replaced between 2024 and 2026. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a pantry cabinet and a butcher block island with pendant lighting. A sunny breakfast nook with built-in storage benches opens to the backyard. The bath is updated with a tiled tub/shower, built-in niches and a modern vanity. Upstairs, the loft-style primary bedroom stands out, with a vaulted cedar-plank ceiling and a dormer window. The partially finished lower level has pot lights, vinyl flooring, a large rec space and a bright laundry room with a utility sink and storage. A separate walk-down entrance from the backyard gives easy, direct access to the lower level. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a private retreat. It has a deck with built-in bench seating, a bar counter, an interlock patio and mature greenery. The private driveway fits 2 cars, and the detached garage adds storage that many homes nearby don't have. You can walk to Tim Hortons Field, home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Bernie Morelli Rec Centre, Prince of Wales Elementary and Bernie Custis Secondary are also within walking distance. Ottawa St N, Barton St, Gage Park and The Centre on Barton are close by, with quick access to the Red Hill Valley Parkway and QEW. (id:60164)
