Cross Streets: Wentworth St N and Barton St E. ** Directions: South on Smith Ave from Barton St E. 84 Smith Ave offers a compelling mix of original character and meaningful modern upgrades in Hamilton's popular Landsdale neighbourhood. This two-storey detached Victorian brick home showcases the kind of craftsmanship that's increasingly hard to find, with 10-foot ceilings, tall baseboards, and well-proportioned rooms that create a bright, comfortable living environment.The main floor is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a spacious kitchen featuring island seating and open flow into the living and family areas. Large windows enhance the sense of space throughout. Upstairs, the bedrooms continue that same airy feel, paired with updates that bring the home in line with modern expectations. Key improvements include updated electrical, a structural beam in the basement, a fully renovated family bathroom completed to the studs, and a new HVAC system-allowing buyers to move in with confidence. The home's layout and features have long supported both relaxed living and hosting, with seamless access to the backyard from the main living areas. Outside, the hardscaped yard is intentionally low maintenance while offering multiple ways to enjoy the space. An above-ground pool, cabana/workshop, and brick fireplace create a setting that works equally well for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. For buyers less familiar with Hamilton, the location is a strong draw. Landsdale continues to be valued for its proximity to downtown, the waterfront, parks, transit, and major routes. You're just minutes from the restaurants and arts scene of James Street North, Bayfront Park with waterfront trails, biking and playgrounds, and the West Harbour GO Station. It's a neighbourhood that appeals to those looking for character, convenience, and long-term potential. A home that pairs historic detail with practical updates, in an area that continues to attract first-time buyers and families alike. (id:27476)
