About This Home

As of August 2024

Quietly set in the heart of Hamilton Square, this stone-trimmed center hall Colonial with slate roof charms with a picture perfect fenced backyard, pristine interiors, and an easy floor plan that comforts and delights. An airy foyer welcomes with a herringbone-tiled floor and gentle archways. Hardwoods throughout begin in an elegant dining room and spacious living room with a gas fireplace, as great light flows throughout the home via mostly replaced windows, clad in custom plantation shutters. Cream cabinets, complementary granite topped counters, and stainless steel appliance package (Bosch DW, Refrigerator less than 2 years and range & microwave brand new) line the kitchen, perfect for entertaining with an open peninsula to a spacious vaulted family room. Sunshine floods this skylit space, framed with windows and built-in bookshelves; the breakfast area overlooks the manicured backyard with a magnificent willow oak tree offering shade for the stone patio. Upstairs, three tranquil bedrooms are served by a fully renovated contemporary large bath with heated flooring and custom cabinetry and double vanity. New lighting fixtures and fans, instant hot water heater, and custom designed closets are just a few more improvements. The waterproofed basement and 1-car garage with an attached shed offer plenty of storage. Down the road from Sayen Gardens, shopping and grocery stores plus close to commuter routes and the Hamilton train station. This one will not last! Please note that the owners have cameras inside and outside of their property. NOTE; WE ARE ALREADY IN A BEST AND FINAL SITUATION.
