42 Kildonan Crescent, Hamilton

Some homes are renovated to sell. This one was updated to be lived in, by a family who cared about the details. Set on a quiet crescent in west Waterdown, this freehold semi offers so much, including no rear neighbours and a gate at the back of the yard that opens straight onto groomed trails.The kitchen, redone in 2022, is the room you'll remember. High-gloss white uppers sit over soft sage lowers, with dark granite counters and a hex tile backsplash. At its centre is a live-edge wood island with an integrated sink and open shelving at one end. Light hardwood carries through the dining and living areas, where a slatted wood feature wall becomes a focal point.Sliding doors open to a two-level deck, shaded by a pergola wrapped in grapevines and with built-in storage tucked beneath. Below, a long stretch of lawn is edged with garden beds and climbing greenery, and a garden shed sits at the far end. West-facing sun makes summer evenings out here even longer.Upstairs, three bedrooms have warm pine plank floors. The primary is bright and spacious, and the family bath (2022) has a double floating vanity set against crisp shiplap.The lower level has been thoughtfully reworked. There's a flexible rec room, a separate office, and a laundry room (2024) with a farmhouse sink and a waterfall wood counter. Then there's the bathroom (2024): a curbless shower behind frameless glass, with a rainfall head, a tiled niche and wood-look hex tile that flows straight in from the floor.The big-ticket work is done: roof (2014), furnace and A/C (2019), most windows (2019), garage door and opener (2019), and front and sliding doors (2021). Everyday errands are close at hand, Waterdown's historic village and Saturday farmers' market are a short drive away, and the Bruce Trail and Smokey Hollow falls are just down the road. With Highways 5, 6 and 403 nearby, getting out of town is easy. Coming home is the good part. Don't be TOO LATE *! *REG TM. RSA
