A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Hamilton’s History. The “Queen St Castle" is a magnificent circa 1881 home situated at the prestigious corner of Queen Street S and Aberdeen Ave. This architectural gem, also known as "Hawkin’s House" and "Henson Queen" (after its original owner), is recognized as one of Hamilton’s most iconic homes and is listed among the city’s Architecturally Significant Properties. This Victorian masterpiece, complete with a turret, has been lovingly maintained by a select few owners and is being offered for the first time in years after being acquired off-market. Grandfathered as a legal non-conforming triplex in 2014, it presents the potential to be restored to its original grandeur as a stunning single-family home for those looking to create a bespoke estate. Features 1 wood-burning fireplace on the main level (to be WETT certified by the next owner), plus 5 more decorative fireplaces. A prime location in the heart of the Durand neighborhood, at the base of the escarpment, just steps from Locke Street’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and dog park. Augusta, James, and Hess Streets are all within walking distance, with access to the Bruce Trail and major highways just mins away. Enjoy ample parking & outdoor space. A triple car attached garage/carport, plus driveway parking for up to 7 vehicles, ensures convenience. The fully fenced yard offers privacy and potential for outdoor entertaining. Modern Updates Include: Front Porch & Hallway Painting (2024), Chimney Cap (2024), Carport Roof (2023), Soffit & Fascia (2020 & 2024). Its proximity to Hamilton’s hospitals, McMaster University, Mohawk College, and multiple GO stations makes it ideal for professionals and families seeking a combination of location, history, and prestige. Don’t miss the chance to own one of Hamilton’s most admired landmarks—experience the grandeur of "The Queen St Castle" and create your own chapter in its remarkable history.
