This stately Georgian mansion in Hamilton’s sought-after Durand neighbourhood exudes timeless elegance and tradition indoors and out. The house was built in 1929 by the Piggot Construction Co., which was well known in Hamilton during its heyday, and that built the Royal Ontario Museum. The house has been fully updated, but without sacrificing any of the period detail. Impress your guests from the get-go, with the gated circular driveway leading to beautiful leaded glass doors and a marble-filled 14- x 24-foot foyer.
