3 Self-Contained Units | Legal Duplex, Fully Tenanted in Central Hamilton

208 Holton Avenue South, Hamilton, ON

C$700,000

2427 SqFt

208 Holton Avenue South is a solid all-brick, three-unit income property on a wide 40-foot lot in Hamilton’s St. Clair/Blakeley neighbourhood, close to the escarpment and the Sherman access. It is a legal duplex currently run as three self-contained apartments, and a 2026 City of Hamilton zoning certificate confirms that a triplex is a permitted use in the R1a zone. Roughly 2,427 square feet above grade across three full-floor units, each with its own kitchen, living room and 4-piece bath.

The Units

Main Floor: A two-bedroom apartment with a living room, eat-in kitchen, 4-piece bath and hardwood floors. Three separate entrances, including the front porch, give this unit easy access and flexibility.

Second Floor: A two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors, a living room that opens to a private front deck, a kitchen with direct access to the rear fire escape, and a 4-piece bath.

Third Floor: A self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, living room and 4-piece bath.

The Building
Original hot water radiator heat is paired with four ductless heat pumps, two of them serving the second floor, so every unit has modern, independent heating and cooling in a century-old building. The unfinished basement has shared laundry and storage. A private driveway parks four. Included are three fridges, three stoves, a washer and a coin-operated dryer.

Steadily improved over the years: front porch in 2010, windows and doors in 2011, eavestrough in 2016, furnace in 2017, roof and heat pumps in 2018, and a new water heater in 2026.

The Investment
Fully tenanted and generating $45,600 a year, with all three units on month-to-month tenancies and rents sitting below market. That gap is the opportunity. The main-floor unit in particular is well under current rents, giving a new owner a clear path to stronger income as units turn over. A clean, well-maintained three-unit hold in an established south-central Hamilton pocket, offered at $700,000. Full income and expense details are available on request.
