This solid brick two-storey home offers exceptional value in one of Hamilton’s most exciting and evolving neighbourhoods. Located on John Street North, just steps from the rapidly transforming West Harbour waterfront, you’ll enjoy easy access to marinas, waterfront trails, parks, boardwalks, yacht clubs, outdoor skating/roller skating, and all the energy of Hamilton’s growing north end. A fantastic option for first-time buyers, young families, couples, or investors alike. Inside, the home features classic thin-strip hardwood flooring throughout, a traditional main floor layout with separate living and dining spaces, and a functional kitchen at the rear. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a full 4-piece bathroom. A high, dry basement with rear walkout presents additional potential, while the unfinished attic with existing window may offer future possibilities for added living space, studio space, or storage. The fully fenced rear yard provides outdoor space for kids, pets, or entertaining. Conveniently located near schools, parks, the Bennetto Community Centre, public transit, and downtown amenities, this is a great opportunity to own a well-built home in a neighbourhood with tremendous long-term upside.
