164 BALMORAL AVENUE S Welcome to this charming Craftsman-style Four Square in Hamilton's sought-after Delta West neighbourhood, where original character and thoughtful updates come together beautifully. Built in 1920, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers approximately 1, 750 sq. ft. of finished living space on a 31' x 115' lot, with parking and both front and back porches. Inside, original details including hardwood floors, substantial wood baseboards, and a coffered dining room ceiling are complemented by an updated kitchen featuring an apron-front sink, subway tile backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting, along with a beautifully updated and spacious second-floor bathroom. The finished basement offers a lot of extra storage and room to spread out, with a second bathroom and flexible space well-suited to a guest room, home office, media room, playroom, or additional living area. Behind the home's timeless character are thoughtful updates that make everyday living comfortable and carefree, including a 2024 furnace and heat pump for year-round heating and cooling, plus an on-demand water heater. You'll live just moments from Gage Park and Ottawa Street's vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, the Farmers' Market, and boutique local shops, with the best of quiet residential living and plenty to explore close to home. There's a reason Crown Point Hub continues to attract attention: in July 2026, Maclean's named this broader Hamilton community the third coolest neighbourhood in Canada... and this home in Delta West is right in the heart of it. But beyond the recognition, it's the everyday character of the neighbourhood that makes it special: neighbours know one another, children play together, and front porches become natural gathering places. It's a community with a genuine sense of connection, and a wonderful place to call home. (id:203)
