About this property

An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Hamilton's most iconic residences. Known as the "Queen St Castle," this circa 1881 Victorian masterpiece commands a prominent corner in the prestigious Durand neighbourhood, at the base of the escarpment. With its signature turret and timeless architectural detail, this historically significant home is recognized among the city's most admired properties. Rich in character and carefully preserved, the home offers remarkable flexibility. Currently grandfathered as a legal non-conforming triplex in 2014, it presents a rare chance to create a truly exceptional single-family estate, maintain a strong income-producing property, or live in one unit while generating revenue from the others. Inside, original charm blends with scale and potential-featuring soaring ceilings, intricate period details, and six fireplaces, including a wood-burning fireplace on the main level. Each space reflects the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era, ready to be elevated further. Outside, the property continues to impress with a fully fenced yard offering privacy and space to entertain, along with a rare triple-car covered carport and an additional driveway off Aberdeen for parking for up to seven vehicles. Set in one of Hamilton's most sought-after neighbourhoods, you are just steps to Locke Street's boutiques and dining, and within walking distance to Augusta, James, and Hess Village. Nature meets city living with immediate access to the escarpment and Bruce Trail, while nearby hospitals, McMaster University, Mohawk College, and GO stations ensure unmatched convenience. Recent updates include a new boiler (2026), carport roof (2023), chimney cap (2024), soffit and fascia (2020 & 2024), one flat roof (2025) a new porch (steps and railings, and interior paint (2024). A rare offering of architectural significance, income potential, and lifestyle that must be seen to be fully appreciated!
