48 Melville Street, Dundas: $1,200,000

Description

Magnificent 2.5 storey classic brick home built with superior construction, filled with exquisite original character and architectural features, yet updated with the luxury of modern conveniences. More than 3000 square feet of finished living space with original gumwood trim & doors, gorgeous rich hardwood flooring, and antique handles.

The vintage elegance is evident the moment you step inside this historical 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home. Georgian style windows flood each spacious and unique room with light. Original pocket doors open to the living room and adjacent sunroom for formal entertaining or a relaxing space to enjoy a morning coffee. The main level also has a two-piece bath, an elegant formal dining room and the office space has many potential uses. A custom maple kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and LED pot lighting is a perfect compliment.

There are three bedrooms on the second level including a master suite with a huge walk-in closet and a beautiful insulated sunroom – a lovely space to unwind. The stunning main bath has a claw foot tub and a separate glass shower. The third level features another master suite loaded with character and a three-piece ensuite. The fully finished basement offers a huge family recreation room and a third full bathroom with walk-in shower and soaker tub. There is a great laundry room, a large toy or craft room that can also be used as a guest bedroom and plenty of storage space.

Located in ‘Olde Dundas’, walking distance to downtown, great schools & parks, and just a short drive to all major highways, McMaster Hospital/University, and the GO station. Situated on a mature landscaped property with an English style garden and wonderful magnolia tree, the curb appeal is inspiring. If the interior of this home wasn’t impressive enough, a fantastic covered porch is accessible from the kitchen with views of the neighbourhood and church. The fenced yard has plenty of space to enjoy and there is a detached brick garage and a new interlock driveway.

The roof has been replaced (2015) including copper accents and new eaves with gutter guards. The wiring and plumbing have been updated and most windows have been replaced or inner storms have been installed to preserve character. The entire home has been meticulously maintained and it is truly breathtaking!
