388 Charlton Avenue W

This LEGAL DUPLEX is in the Kirkendall neighbourhood, steps from Locke Street. This turnkey investment is in an upscale neighbourhood; live in one unit and rent out the other to supplement mortgage payments. Unit #1 has 2-beds and spans the entire 1st floor and basement. It features the character of the Kirkendall neighbourhood’s century homes, with built-in bookshelf and 9’ ceilings, while having modern luxuries, such as private laundry, dishwasher, parking spot in the double-wide driveway, backyard with patios, and garage with electricity off the laneway. The partially finished basement provides flexibility for working from home, while having storage in the oversized laundry room with a sink. The kitchen was updated with subway tile backsplash and quartz countertops. The living and dining rooms have high ceilings and large windows. Unit #2 is a 2-bed +den apartment with hardwood floors, private laundry, dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, and a white farmhouse apron sink in the kitchen. This unit is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and has a deck overlooking the mature trees in the backyard, a parking spot, as well as free parking on the street. Units have their own hydro meters, allowing tenants to pay for their own electricity. This property has undergone many improvements: main floor kitchen (‘22), basement reno with a 25-year waterproofing warranty (‘23), driveway (‘24), new plumbing stack (‘25), etc. This home is in a vibrant neighbourhood, and only steps to shops and restaurants such as CIMA, Donut Monster, Bardo, Gym on Locke, two dog parks, and a football field & running track at the HAAA Grounds. Other amenities are only a short drive away: Hamilton City Hall (3 min), McMaster University (7 min), Waterdown (8 min), Ancaster Meadowlands (10 min), and downtown Burlington (15 min). With a Walk Score of 94, it speaks to how great the location is: close to everything, yet not directly on a main street. View the virtual walkthrough now!
