57 Neil Avenue, Hamilton

Room to spread out and a view that stays with you. Set on a corner lot in a quiet Stoney Creek neighborhood, this full-brick two-storey residence pairs everyday comfort with escarpment views. A covered front porch sets the tone; the double concrete driveway parks four and the attached one-and-a-half-car garage is ready for projects with its workbench and shelving. Inside, a bright foyer opens to a formal living and dining room that run together for easy hosting, while the kitchen flows into a sun-filled dinette with a walkout to the back deck and private yard, an effortless link between indoors and out. A family room anchored by a gas fireplace and a three-piece bathroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, gleaming hardwood leads to four spacious bedrooms and a five-piece bathroom, and two of them - including the primary suite - open through walkouts onto a full-width front balcony. Downstairs, a fully finished basement adds a rec room, game room, a cedar storage closet, a big laundry/utility room and a spacious cantina with plenty of shelving. Outside, perennial gardens, a privacy hedge and a vegetable garden complete a beautifully landscaped yard, all under that escarpment backdrop. Walk to downtown Stoney Creek's cafés, restaurants and Battlefield Park; minutes to Eastgate Mall, Groceries, schools and the Queen Elizabeth Way and Red Hill Valley Parkway, five minutes to the new Confederation GO station and seven to Confederation Park's beach and waterfront trail.
