Cross Streets: Murray Street East. ** Directions: Located on the quiet section of John Street North just north of the intersection with Murray Street East. Step through the front door of this Victorian semi and prepare to be surprised - this all-brick beauty is MUCH bigger and more captivating than it appears! A dramatic entry foyer with soaring ceilings welcomes you into a home that radiates personality and warmth. The main floor offers an impressive sense of scale: generous living and dining rooms perfect for hosting, plus a huge updated kitchen with a double-width stainless steel fridge and room to truly cook, gather, and live. A convenient 4-piece bath and a high, dry basement with side walk-out add everyday practicality. Upstairs, character takes centre stage. Rustic wide-plank pine floors, full of story and charm, lead past a skylight that pours natural light down the stairwell. The spacious layout includes a large bedroom, a cozy office/bedroom, and a remarkably generous primary suite that flows into a connected den. From here, step out onto your covered balcony - an intimate, elevated hideaway perfect for morning coffee or late-night unwinding. The stunning renovated bathroom brings modern luxury with an all-glass shower, concrete-style flooring, and in-suite laundry. The finished third-floor loft completes the home with an inspiring open-concept space ideal for a studio, bedroom, or creative retreat. Outside, the fully fenced yard is an urban oasis: a large deck for entertaining, a charming side courtyard tucked under the balcony, and a converted garage for great storage. A rare two-car driveway is the kind of bonus you almost never find here. With more than $70,000 in thoughtful improvements - roofing, wiring, masonry, moisture protection, a full bathroom renovation, and numerous cosmetic upgrades - this home blends historic soul with modern comfort. All of this sits steps from the energy of James North's arts and dining scene, the West Harbour GO Station, Bayfront Park, and the waterfront. It's the perfect mix of vibrancy, charm, and spacious downtown living - a truly one-of-a-kind Hamilton home. (id:27476)
