A rare opportunity to claim one of Canadas most storied residences in Hamilton's prestigious Durand neighborhood, Ravenscliffe Castle [1881] is a Romanesque Gothic masterpiece by celebrated architect James Balfour, known for The Scottish Rite and Old City Hall, crafted in imported Scottish stone with a turret and a five storey tower that rises above the treetops, visible for miles. Within its 12,749 square feet, the castle unfolds across 26 rooms [12 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces], graced by soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork and ceiling medallions, rich wood paneling and wainscoting, a grand staircase, and beautifully preserved staff quarters. Once home to prominent Hamilton families, including Ontario's former Lieutenant Governor Sir John Morrison Gibson, this landmark blends grandeur, history, and architectural significance in equal measure. More than a home, it is a legacy, ready for its next chapter. (id:63267)
