52 CEDAR Avenue
Hamilton, Ontario
6 bed • 4 bath • Multi-family
Welcome to 52 Cedar Avenue – a rare opportunity in one of Hamilton's most walkable, character-rich neighbourhoods. This fully permitted, legal top-and-bottom duplex sits in the heart of St. Clair / Blakeley, steps from Gage Park, minutes to the Escarpment trails, and on a transit corridor that connects you to everything Hamilton has to offer. Built in 1917 and thoughtfully converted to a two-unit dwelling in 2015 under City of Hamilton Building Permit #15-10884-9, this 3.5-storey double-brick beauty combines old-world craftsmanship with modern kitchens and systems. Each unit is separately metered with its own HVAC, providing genuine independence for owner and tenant. Live in one. Let a tenant help pay your mortgage. Unit A1 (upper – 2nd & 3rd floor): 3 bedrooms, 7 rooms, ~1,690 sq ft with a private balcony. Unit B2 (lower – ground & basement): 3 bedrooms, 6 rooms, ~1,373 sq ft with outdoor space. Combined rents of $3,909/month put a real dent in your carrying costs – making this an ideal house-hack for a savvy buyer who wants more space, a great neighbourhood, and built-in financial relief. Top-ranked schools, Gage Park, the Escarpment, James Street North arts scene, and Hamilton GO – all within reach. Don't just buy a home. Buy a lifestyle with a built-in financial partner.
