The Nortonia Mansion | A Legacy Estate in Hamilton’s Prestigious Durand Enclave | Step into the grandeur of The Nortonia — a Queen Anne English Mansion nestled in Hamilton’s exclusive Durand neighbourhood. Celebrated in The Globe and Mail as a highlight in “An Exhibit of Hamilton’s Mansions,” this stately residence is a masterwork of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. A true Downton Abbey lifestyle awaits, with a regal façade and a succession of exquisitely panelled rooms accessed via 9-ft French doors. Soaring 10.5-ft ceilings crown the principal spaces, where original wood detailing remains intact. The formal dining room boasts a shimmering crystal chandelier, heritage stained glass, and a balcony walkout. Rich wood panels and antique swinging doors lead to a granite-clad chef’s kitchen, beautifully blending old-world charm with modern function. The Petite Salon’s coffered ceiling, exposed wood beams, and jewel-toned stained glass lead into the luminous Conservatory Atrium — perfect for morning tea or evening entertaining. A grand staircase showcases an 8-ft stained glass tribute to Lady Nortonia, a centrepiece of this heirloom estate. The second level continues with 10.5-ft ceilings, four generous bedrooms, spa-inspired 4-pc and 5-pc baths, and large laundry room. A separate entrance accesses a legal 2-bedroom apartment — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or income. The original Carriage House includes a 2-car garage and upper loft studio with separate entry — a creative space, rental, or private retreat. This rare offering combines heritage, flexibility, and income potential in a historically rich neighbourhood. Estates of this calibre rarely come to market. The Nortonia Mansion is more than a home — it’s a family legacy of enduring beauty and exceptional craftsmanship. (id:38551)
