523 CATHARINE Street
Hamilton, Ontario
6 bed • 2 bath • Single Family
Are you looking to live in the bayfront community and be close to downtown shop and amenities? With Burlington Street access to the highways, bike lanes, loads of places to eat and great recreation? This brick 2 1/2 story home built in 1900 is impressive in size and stature, and is loaded with mindful upgrades and dripping with character. The unique main floor level features open concept, living dining with original pocket doors, and a unique main floor powder room and bedroom. The kitchen exits to a large backyard well over standard depth with an updated composite deck. The bedroom level features three large rooms and an oversized four piece bath, with an attic accommodating two additional bedrooms. You can’t replicate a butler staircase, or the fruit bearing orchard that they call a backyard here. Original hardwood floors have been hand sanded to maintain integrity.
