Welcome to 393 Hess Street South, an exceptional offering perched near the top of Hamilton's coveted Durand neighbourhood. Masterfully reimagined, this residence has been meticulously crafted with an uncompromising dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. While the charming original façade has been thoughtfully preserved, every element behind it is entirely new, executed with a level of precision and attention to detail rarely seen. The main level has been artfully redesigned to create an airy, light-filled open concept that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and family spaces-perfectly suited for modern living and effortless entertaining. Wide plank white oak hardwood flows throughout the main and second levels, complemented by curated accent lighting and flush Aria vents that speak to the home's refined, cohesive aesthetic. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a true statement in both form and function, featuring custom white oak cabinetry, a striking rough-cut stone backsplash, a plaster hood, and a suite of top-tier appliances including an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a La Cornue gas range. Upstairs, a substantial rear addition creates a breathtaking primary retreat with soaring vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired five-piece ensuite with heated floors, glass shower, and soaker tub, along with a bespoke walk-in closet complete with built-ins. Three additional generously proportioned bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a convenient second-floor laundry complete this level. Outdoors, a newly constructed covered porch clad in Banas stone offers an elegant extension of the living space, complete with a BBQ gas line and TV wiring-ideal for refined outdoor entertaining overlooking the private, landscaped yard. The fully finished, waterproofed basement provides versatile additional living space. A truly rare and distinguished offering, this home sets a new benchmark for luxury in Durand.
