107 Melville Street, Hamilton, ON

Larger than it looks and filled with natural light, 107 Melville Street combines a rich Dundas history with generous living space on a corner lot. Property records reach back to 1798, while the home itself is believed to date to circa 1869. Originally built in the Ontario farmhouse style, it once served as a boarding house for teachers at nearby Dundas Central School. Today, this welcoming home offers 4+1 bedrooms, two bathrooms and an attached garage. Oak hardwood floors, tall baseboards, plaster cove detailing and built-in cabinetry bring warmth and character throughout. The spacious formal living room features impressive 10-foot ceilings and a fireplace, while high-quality upgraded windows shower the home with natural light. The large eat-in kitchen features a generous bay window, a reminder of its earlier life as the home's dining room. A separate study with its own exterior entrance offers flexible space for work or a quiet retreat, connecting to the garage and a covered porch with skylights. Main-floor laundry and a powder room add everyday convenience. With more space than its exterior suggests, this is a home full of character, history and opportunity to write its next chapter.
