A Hamilton Character Home Ready for its Next Chapter. Now offered at $519,000, with the scope of renovation in mind. Located in Hamilton's Blakeley neighbourhood, a historic Hamilton neighbourhood, known for its mature tree lined streets and early 1900s brick homes, at the base of the Escarpment. This detached brick century home offers approximately 1,100 sq. ft. living space, with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, hardwood floors, rear deck, fenced yard, and views of the Niagara Escarpment from the covered front porch. This is a true renovation opportunity requiring significant updating and repair, with the realities - and potential - of taking on a century home with an older stone foundation. A newer furnace is already in place and a PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION available for review. For a renovator, contractor, experienced DIYer or old-house enthusiast, this is an opportunity to re-imagine a genuine Hamilton character home in a sought-after location close to Gage Park, Ottawa Street,the Escarpment Rail Trail, Bruce Trail access and the Wentworth Stairs. Bring your vision, your renovation plans and an appreciation for century home character!
