Rare opportunity in Westdale, steps from McMaster's front door, no bus required. A location students and investors rarely get the chance to secure. This 2.5 storey Tudor style home offers genuine curb appeal and over 2,800 sq ft of total living space, larger than most homes in the area and full of character throughout. The large, bright kitchen features skylights that flood the space with natural light, gleaming floors run through the home, original wood trim has been preserved, and the home has updated the electrical and plumbing. Currently set up with 7 student bedrooms, with two additional rooms having been used as bedrooms in the past, this home offers real flexibility for rental income or for a purchaser who wants an extra room for their own children. The loft bedroom becomes vacant this December, giving a purchaser the option to move in and claim that space right away. There is a bathroom on every floor for convenience, plus a newly renovated lower level bathroom, new carpet in the lower level, newer interior doors throughout, new flooring on the main level, and a new garage door. Parking is no issue with a 2 car driveway plus garage. This home has a long history of quality student tenants and was once the residence of a McMaster music professor, adding to its unique character. A rare and special offering in this sought after neighbourhood, properties like this do not come up often.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $475/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Hamilton's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Hamilton are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 7 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Hamilton.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
