Cragmore combines 19th-century architecture with 21st-century conveniences.

The historic home sits just outside Hamilton, at 57 Pitts Bay Road.

Harbour Realty Ltd is the sole agent for the property, listed for $8.75 million. It’s set on more than an acre of land and includes a swimming pool, two-bedroom guest cottage and “stunning” wine cellar.

“This elegant, historic home has been upgraded throughout in a contemporary style while retaining its characteristic features of a late 1800s home,” said realtor Jonelle Smith.

“Set on almost one-and-a-half acres, the manicured grounds offer vistas of Hamilton Harbour, a swimming pool and a lawn ideal for entertaining and growing vegetable gardens.”

Cragmore’s “generously proportioned” rooms benefit from high ceilings and large windows.

“The floor above has four bedrooms, [an] office/study and laundry,” Mrs Smith said.

“The bedrooms are sun-filled and spacious with the master having an en suite bathroom, large walk-in closet and balcony overlooking the harbour. The top floor, which is ideal for teenage children or guests, has a living room, bedroom [and a] bathroom with a private balcony. In addition, there is a two-bedroom guest cottage, one-bedroom apartment and a studio that is ideal for guests or staff, all served by a separate driveway.”

The kitchen was completely renovated, and the wine cellar added, in 2015.

“The house has been completely rewired and plumbed along with new windows and bathrooms making it turnkey,” the realtor said.

“Other upgrades include a well with reverse osmosis, generator, electronic gates and Sonos entertainment system. Cragmore is a unique opportunity to live on the edge of Hamilton in a beautiful 19th-century estate with a 21st-century interior.”
