About this home
Set on one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods of Hamilton, this lovingly maintained historic home of Durand has been owned and cared for by the same owner for more than 20 years. 314 Hess St S blends timeless craftsmanship with the flexibility today's buyers are searching for - main floor bedroom & bathroom, and ADU potential. Original oak floors, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, stained glass details, oversized wood trim, and two marble fireplaces create spaces that feel both elegant and deeply inviting. Sunlight pours through the original windows, casting warmth across gracious living spaces designed for gathering, quiet mornings, and everyday living. The thoughtful layout offers exceptional versatility with 3 bedrooms, including a main floor bedroom and full bathroom ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or aging in place. Two additional den spaces provide endless options for home offices, playrooms, studios, or storage, while two separate family/living rooms allow everyone room to spread out and unwind. Main floor laundry adds convenience rarely found in homes of this era. Outside, the property is extraordinary for the neighbourhood. A long private driveway with parking for at least 5 vehicles and leads to a rare 3-bay brick garage with additional workshop space - seldom found in the old neighbourhoods of Hamilton. Whether you are a hobbyist, car enthusiast, entrepreneur needing workspace and storage, or an Accessory Dwelling Unit - the possibilities are endless. Combined with the generous yard space for entertaining & relaxing, nearby schools, parks, hospitals, transit (bus routes and GO Train), and walkable access to downtown Hamilton and Locke Street shops/cafes; this is a home that offers not only charm and history, but a lifestyle with room to grow, create, and settle in for years to come. Many updates over the years, with 2026 updates being new AC, furnace, electrical wiring and panel, water line, exterior paint, and front landscaping.

Listed at $1,099,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with a precise CMA. 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 6 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 6 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.51M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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 $1000K
- Bedrooms +$30K
- Adjusts to $1.03M
That comparable adjusts to $1.03M; the $1.11M estimate above is the median of all 6 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. HESS at ABERDEEN is about a 1-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.11M, median of 6 comparables.
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.
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

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.
