This four-level backsplit on the Hamilton Escarpment is set up for serious flexibility. The main floor has a renovated living room with a wood accent wall, modern fireplace, and hardwood floors, plus a bright eat-in kitchen that walks out to the deck. But the real story is the separate walk-up entrance to the finished basement, which includes its own kitchen, laundry, and three bedrooms. With six total bedrooms and two full baths, you could live upstairs and rent the lower level, or house the in-laws. The backyard is a private oasis with a covered patio, outdoor hot tub, outdoor shower, and even a fridge. There's a wooden deck with lounge chairs overlooking the fenced yard, and a castle playhouse for the kids. The front is brick with a two-car garage and concrete driveway, so parking's sorted. At 2,000+ sq ft, it's all carpet-free. Taxes run $4,500 a year. Located near Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School (1.9 km) and Mohawk Sports Park (2.1 km), with quick access to the escarpment. List price is $838,800, above the area's median of $749,990, but the income potential and condition justify it. A similar backsplit sold in 20 days recently, so act fast if you're interested.
