Westdale living oozing with character and the charm of a Tudor home, steps from McMaster. This classic two-storey home sits in one of Hamilton's most walkable neighbourhoods, close to the university, hospital, parks, cafés and shops. The property is currently being used as a student rental with early 2027 vacancy and an easy conversion back to single family, so it works equally well for investors and for families looking for a character home in a great location. The main floor has an airy, open-concept, eat-in kitchen addition with a warm gas fireplace, a main floor office and large formal living and dining rooms finished with period correct details. Upstairs are three sunny bedrooms, more hardwood flooring and a full bathroom that has been freshly painted. Recent updates include replacement windows, central air conditioning and a -inch copper water line, and there's a full-size attached brick garage with access to the basement. The basement has been finished with an additional bedroom, workshop and full laundry. Location could not be more ideal. Dalewood Middle School, Westdale High School and Cootes Paradise Elementary are all a short walk away, along with McMaster University and Hospital. You'll also find a new kids' playground and splash pad, plus miles of Royal Botanical Gardens forest trails. Around the corner, the Westdale shopping district has patio dining, boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, a classic movie theatre, the public library and a grocery store. Princess Point Conservation Area is close by too, with waterfront trails running all the way to the downtown Bayfront and Pier 4 Park. RSA.
