73 ARKELL Street
Hamilton, Ontario
3 bed • 2 bath • Single Family
A rare find in Westdale; a fully upgraded home without losing its soul. Offering incredible value in this sought-after pocket. A quiet, established street surrounded by character homes, mature trees, and everything that makes this neighbourhood so desirable. Inside, the home is bright and warm with character where you want it and modern updates where you need them. The kind of place that immediately feels livable, not like a project in disguise. Comprehensively updated where it matters most: kitchen, baths, systems, exterior, and layout (2018). The main floor interior was taken back to the studs and rebuilt focusing on quality and longevity. It’s comfortable and finished in a way that works well day to day. The main floor windows, doors, shingles, soffit, eaves, facia, exterior paint, re-built porch, Ipe decking, pergola w/ electrical, lighting, low maintenance gardens, and garage rebuild with new pad, insulation, power, ventilation and shed, all in 2018. Exposed Aggregate and ext waterproofing and weeping tiles in 2015. Furnace in 2020. Backflow valve in 2025. The heavy lifting has already been done. No drawn-out to-do list. Just move in and fall in love. The location does what Westdale does best. Walkable, established, and easy to live in. Walkable to the top schools (Westdale, Cootes, and Dalewood), parks, and everyday amenities, with McMaster University just minutes away. It has doubled as a very successful Airbnb which adds tremendous long term value. And we're offering $100/sqft less than the recent sales! This is a steal of a deal and everything about this lovely home makes it well worth a visit!
