30 South Street W

Welcome to one of Hamilton's great historic estates! This magnificent home sits on an incredibly rare and private 1.28 acre landscaped lot overlooking downtown Dundas. Built in 1847, this home offers 4600 square feet of lavish living space above grade, enhanced by generous room sizes, huge windows and soaring 11' ceilings. Crown mouldings, 18" baseboards, inset bookcases, chandeliers, and gleaming hardwood floors further add to the rich character. The main entrance is bordered by a large covered porch that is partially screened in. Inside the double front doors, a grand staircase and entrance foyer anchor a classic centre hall floor plan. A conservatory/parlour and a formal living room adjoin the foyer, each with their own original French doors leading to the porch. The formal dining room comfortably seats eight, and connects to both the kitchen and the main entrance hall where a main floor powder room and stately office complete the floor. The eat-in kitchen has been renovated, and is equipped with heated floors, stone countertops, updated cabinetry, and stainless appliances, including a countertop gas range. The second floor stairway landing is truly awe-inspiring. Flooded by light from both the immense south-facing window and chandelier, this landing is bordered by four spacious principal bedrooms and a shared 3-piece washroom. The sprawling primary suite includes two closets and a stunning ensuite washroom with heated floor and soaker tub. Two additional rooms and another bathroom can be found down a hallway in the former butler quarters. Across the circular driveway from the principal residence, this spectacular estate includes a solid brick carriage house with one and a half storeys; ideal for converting to an additional dwelling unit, studio, or workshop. This remarkable estate is truly special and will make an amazing home for the right owners!
