86 Monte Drive, Hamilton MLS Number: X14145890

Designed and finished by its only owners 40 years ago, 86 Monte has 3,590 sq. ft. of finished living space that includes five bedrooms above grade and a finished basement suite for potential rental income. One bedroom is on the main floor close to the kitchen and living areas, convenient for those who need to avoid stairs. Upstairs, three bedrooms fit queen beds, and the primary with ensuite has enough room for a king without squeezing in the rest of your furniture. Down below, the finished basement includes an eat-in kitchen and a recreation room large enough for a playroom and to host the whole crew on game day. The soundproofed room, once built for music, could be converted into a bedroom. Just add flooring. There's also 1,293 sq ft of unfinished space here that includes a cantina, and storage area once used as a workshop and for wine making. You can access this apartment two ways: from the backyard or more privately from the side door and through the garage. On the main floor, the kitchen can draw a crowd without ever feeling crowded. Solid wood cabinets give every small appliance a proper home. There's a tucked-away homework station, plus room for an island or kitchen table. To one side of the kitchen, the formal living room opens to a dining room that fits a table for 10. On the other, the sunken family room easily takes a three-seater and an oversized sectional without feeling tight, with an oversized, wood-burning fireplace anchoring the space. Step out back and two patios offer views of what 40 years of planting and love have produced: mature gardens, a vegetable patch, a grapevine, and various fruit trees. This Stoney Creek street is quiet and in a fully developed subdivision with no further expansions planned. Schools, Eastgate Square, and downtown Stoney Creek are minutes away, with Confederation GO Station nearby and easy access to the Red Hill Parkway, QEW, 403, and Linc, keeping you connected in all directions.
