About this home
Exceptionally convenient location and a great neighbourhood pocket. This well-kept, 2-bedroom, second floor suite is located in a beautifully maintained triplex, just a few doors down from Bay Street and James Street North. Walk to West Harbour GO in approximately nine minutes, with Bayfront Park, the yacht and sailing clubs, shops, cafes, restaurants, and some of Hamilton's best neighbourhood amenities all close by. It's a genuinely walkable, bike-friendly, and transit-connected location, with easy GO access to Toronto and HSR routes at your door connecting to McMaster University, Mohawk College, and Hamilton Airport. The walk-up suite offers two full bedrooms, each with a closet, an eat-in kitchen, in-suite laundry, and a recently updated 4-piece bathroom. Brand new ductless AC/heater added for extra comfort and full climate control. Some furniture may also be available for added convenience. The shared building foyer includes individual shoe cubbies, bench seating, mailboxes for all three units, and a dedicated video doorbell and camera system for each suite. Pet-friendly. No use of the front or rear yard and no driveway parking. Street permit parking is typically available through the City of Hamilton.
