OLD HOME CHRISTMAS WISH LIST

There's nothing like an old home over the holidays. The halls decked. The stockings hung. The fireplaces roaring.  They don't make them like they used to, but thankfully Hamilton and area is blessed with a bountiful stock of these character beauties. And if you're lucky you'll find one untouched and chock-a-block full of original features. Features like the old home Wish List below.

Check out my picks with help from local realtor extraordinaire, Tricia Taffs. All these homes were listed in 2025 at some point. We both hope Santa is good to all the historic house hunters out there!
