About this home
Welcome to 393 Hess Street South, an exceptional offering perched near the top of Hamilton's coveted Durand neighbourhood. Masterfully reimagined, this residence has been meticulously crafted with an uncompromising dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. While the charming original façade has been thoughtfully preserved, every element behind it is entirely new, executed with a level of precision and attention to detail rarely seen. The main level has been artfully redesigned to create an airy, light-filled open concept that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and family spaces-perfectly suited for modern living and effortless entertaining. Wide plank white oak hardwood flows throughout the main and second levels, complemented by curated accent lighting and flush Aria vents that speak to the home's refined, cohesive aesthetic. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a true statement in both form and function, featuring custom white oak cabinetry, a striking rough-cut stone backsplash, a plaster hood, and a suite of top-tier appliances including an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a La Cornue gas range. Upstairs, a substantial rear addition creates a breathtaking primary retreat with soaring vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired five-piece ensuite with heated floors, glass shower, and soaker tub, along with a bespoke walk-in closet complete with built-ins. Three additional generously proportioned bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a convenient second-floor laundry complete this level. Outdoors, a newly constructed covered porch clad in Banas stone offers an elegant extension of the living space, complete with a BBQ gas line and TV wiring-ideal for refined outdoor entertaining overlooking the private, landscaped yard. The fully finished, waterproofed basement provides versatile additional living space. A truly rare and distinguished offering, this home sets a new benchmark for luxury in Durand.

Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Ask Moe if this price is fairOn 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 3-minute walk away.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.

- Heated floors: comfort and a premium-finish signal.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
