Funny how $1.5
million seems cheap. That is how much you could have owned this home for in
August 2012. Moreover, the home’s owner (at that time) bought the home from Skye Phin, descendant of the original owner, in 1981 for
$250,000. Today, The W.E. Phin house is listed for a cool $2,650,000.
This
six-bedroom, 84 window, 8,896 square foot mansion was built in 1908 for W.E.
Phin, whose activities included dredging the Welland Canal. He lived in the
Hamilton estate until his dying days.

FRESH FEATURES
Original
features remain including mahogany trim, oak doors, lead windows, decorative plaster ceilings, marble
fireplaces, and white tile in the bathroom.
The basement
vault, now a wine cellar, is complete with some stock from Phin’s day, even an
ancient Guinness (unless removed or consumed by the current owners)!
Three-car
garage! A rarity even today, but W.E.
Phin had one a hundred years ago, complete with basement, mechanic’s pit and
hand-cranked gasoline pump (It is still there).
Gorgeous half
acre+ manicured grounds with an in ground pool.
The historical
cherry on top is a magnificent full-size 1922 Burroughes & Watts billiards table,
which is still ready for play in the basement.
More to drool over...
Offered at $2,650,000
