Listing # 2315373 | Listed on 18 March

Timeless character meets exceptional opportunity in this iconic early 1900s residence—an offering defined by elegance, scale, and undeniable street appeal.
From the outset, the home’s classic façade and charming presence speak to its heritage, while inside, the integrity of its original design remains beautifully intact. Rich in character, with gracious proportions and enduring craftsmanship, the home offers remarkable “bones” ready to be appreciated today or enhanced for tomorrow.
Offering six bedrooms plus a dedicated office, the accommodation is both generous and versatile—perfectly suited to growing families or those seeking space to live and work with ease. This is a home that has been cherished, now ready for its next chapter.
Practically considered, the home includes a new ducted heating system for year-round comfort, two bathrooms - one refreshed, and a generous kitchen that connects seamlessly to relaxed living spaces. From here, the home opens out to a well-proportioned outdoor entertaining area, perfectly positioned to overlook the backyard—ideal for hosting and quiet unwinding.
Set on a substantial, family-sized section, the grounds are as inspiring as they are private. A magnificent oak tree anchors the backyard, instantly sparking visions of treehouses and childhood adventures, while the scale of the site leaves ample room for a pool or further landscaping to create your ultimate outdoor retreat.
Elevated to capture urban vistas, the outlook stretches across the city to central Hamilton, with glimpses of the theatre adding to the sense of connection and place.
Positioned in the heart of tightly held and highly regarded school zones—renowned for delivering some of the city’s best public education across all age groups—this is a location that underpins long-term value and lifestyle.
Adding a further layer of appeal, the property is zoned for high-density residential use, presenting compelling scope for future intensification or redevelopment (subject to council approval). Whether you choose to preserve and enhance the existing home or explore the site’s broader potential, the options here are both rare and rewarding.
Essentially original and brimming with opportunity, this is a true forever home—or a strategic landholding—in one of the city’s most desirable settings.
Properties of this calibre, scale, and versatility are seldom offered. Your next chapter begins here.
