- ROYAL LEPAGE STATE REALTY
Perched along the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, 'Claremont Manor' occupies one of Hamilton's most remarkable settings. Chosen approximately 140 years ago for its commanding views across the city and Lake Ontario, this landmark limestone estate continues to offer the same sense of privacy, beauty and connection to nature that first made the property so extraordinary. Surrounded by mature trees with no homes directly in front, and with the Bruce Trail, scenic lookouts and countless walking and cycling routes just beyond your doorstep, it offers a peaceful retreat only minutes from the heart of the city. Circa 1880, the residence spans 4,189 sq ft above grade with 5 bdrms & 4 baths, where original craftsmanship has been thoughtfully preserved alongside carefully considered updates. Rich woodwork, intricate hardwood flooring, grand principal rooms, a mahogany-panelled dining room, elegant fireplaces and a light-filled sunroom speak to the home's remarkable heritage, while the updated kitchen blends timeless character with modern convenience. Upstairs, the primary retreat captures breathtaking escarpment, city and lake views, complete with a private sitting room, charming sunroom and spacious ensuite. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds unfold into a secluded courtyard featuring a custom gunite plunge pool/hot tub, resort-style cabana, pergola, dry sauna and exceptional privacy. Moments from Locke Street, downtown Hamilton, St. Joseph's Healthcare, GO Transit, Hillfield Strathallan College, Highway 403 and the Lincoln Alexander Parkway, Claremont Manor offers a rare opportunity to own one of Hamilton's true landmark residences - where history, nature and everyday living come together in a setting that simply cannot be recreated.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $629/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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 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 4 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.
