About this home
An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Hamilton's most iconic residences. Known as the "Queen St Castle," this circa 1881 Victorian masterpiece commands a prominent corner in the prestigious Durand neighbourhood, at the base of the escarpment. With its signature turret and timeless architectural detail, this historically significant home is recognized among the city's most admired properties. Rich in character and carefully preserved, the home offers remarkable flexibility. Currently grandfathered as a legal non-conforming triplex in 2014, it presents a rare chance to create a truly exceptional single-family estate, maintain a strong income-producing property, or live in one unit while generating revenue from the others. Inside, original charm blends with scale and potential-featuring soaring ceilings, intricate period details, and six fireplaces, including a wood-burning fireplace on the main level. Each space reflects the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era, ready to be elevated further. Outside, the property continues to impress with a fully fenced yard offering privacy and space to entertain, along with a rare triple-car covered carport and an additional driveway off Aberdeen for parking for up to seven vehicles. Set in one of Hamilton's most sought-after neighbourhoods, you are just steps to Locke Street's boutiques and dining, and within walking distance to Augusta, James, and Hess Village. Nature meets city living with immediate access to the escarpment and Bruce Trail, while nearby hospitals, McMaster University, Mohawk College, and GO stations ensure unmatched convenience. Recent updates include a new boiler 2026), carport roof (2023), chimney cap (2024), soffit and fascia (2020 & 2024), one flat roof (2025) a new porch (steps and railings, and interior paint (2024). A rare offering of architectural significance, income potential, and lifestyle that must be seen to be fully appreciated!

Price and status history from the listing board. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Listed at $1,999,000, this home is tracking about 28% below a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so it is worth confirming with a precise CMA rather than reading it as a clear deal. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 10 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 10 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.26M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $2.60M
- Bedrooms +$120K
- Adjusts to $2.71M
That comparable adjusts to $2.71M; the $2.76M estimate above is the median of all 10 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. QUEEN at ABERDEEN is about a 1-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.76M, median of 10 comparables.

Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
