Tiebreaker

We fell in love with this elegant home on a visit to Colgate with our daughter. Built in the 1800s, the home was completely and beautifully renovated in 2019 by the previous owners. It sits on an idyllic street, five minutes walking distance to both Colgate and downtown Hamilton. When we're not in town cheering on Colgate tennis, we hope to continue the tradition of providing a convenient and comfortable space for guests to make memories in Hamilton.
