16 BRUCE Street, Hamilton, Ontario L8P3M6

Property Description

Character. Craftsmanship. Possibility. Welcome to 16 Bruce Street, a circa-1895 solid-brick home in sought-after Durand South, thoughtfully updated while preserving the architectural details that make it special. Soaring 11' ceilings, original/inlaid oak floors and pocket doors retain the home's period character. The bright main floor features a gorgeous light-filled living room with gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling bay windows with custom triple-pane Danish glass, plus a separate dining room. The well-equipped kitchen features a Wolf range, heated floors, extensive cabinetry, pantry storage and convenient main-floor laundry. An architect-led renovation completed in consultation with Hamilton Heritage Homes included foundation work, redesigned bay windows, custom windows and a European oak front door. Upstairs are 3 especially spacious bedrooms and a family bath. The generous primary bedroom features beautiful European black-framed windows, while the other 2 bedrooms are also notably spacious. The attic includes a 3-piece bath rough-in with potential for future finished living space. Professionally landscaped front and rear gardens feature native and pollinator-friendly plantings for beautiful seasonal colour. The private backyard provides a wonderful setting for relaxing, dining and entertaining, with a gas line at the back porch for outdoor cooking. At the rear, a detached garage(16'9 x 16'11) with Hess Street access plus an additional parking space behind the garage provides valuable off-street parking - a rare feature in this Hamilton neighbourhood. The garage offers future accessory-building, studio or flexible-space potential, subject to municipal approvals. Walk to Hamilton's best cafes and restaurants, St. Joseph's Healthcare, the GO Train, shops, parks and trails. (id:5764)
