Neighbourhood: Dundas

Features: Located on the edge of the escarpment in Dundas, this two-storey home is one of the community's most expensive properties on the market, sitting at just under $2.7 million.

With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home would be ideal for the entertainer" whose kids are almost ready to leave the nest, said Tim O'Connor, a sales agent with Re/Max Escarpment.

The main floor of the home features a chef's kitchen with a walk-through pantry, stainless steel appliances, a built-in espresso machine and an island built for parties.

There is also a spacious living and dining room, a corner den and a fully finished basement. The backyard has a fenced yard, covered patio, built-in fireplace and a sunken hot tub.

(The parents) will have enough space for their kids to come and visit, they can grow old in the house and not have to worry about relocating," said O'Connor, pointing to the home's elevator. The way it's laid out with the open concept ... it all flows."

The home is a short walk from Dundas' historic downtown - a strip dotted by coffee shops, restaurants and locally owned businesses - as well as schools, grocery stores and recreation.

And its walkout terrace overlooks the Dundas Driving Park, which has basketball courts, playgrounds and a splash pad that doubles as a skating rink.

The activity and the vibe above the park is second to none," said O'Connor. The only spot you're going to get better views is up on the top of Sydenham Hill."

Why it is priced this way: O'Connor said the price of the home is based on inventory levels in Hamilton and the selling price of a Victorian home just a few blocks away.

O'Connor said that home sold for in the realm of $2.6 million despite needing renovations, while this property has been redone.

Dundas doesn't have much in the way of this type of product," said O'Connor. This home would be much more comparable to the majority of the homes being built in Old Ancaster."
