“As hot as we thought last year was, it got extreme,” agent Michael St. Jean said. “We knew we were going to have a good result.
“A lot of people want to get away from the noise and the hustle and bustle of the city and get some peace and quiet.”

The agent’s take
“Glanbrook is a little rural community in Hamilton, on the outskirts, so you’re literally five to 10 minutes to everything in terms of what Hamilton has to offer,” Mr. St. Jean said.
The Glancaster has a large double garage.Michael St. Jean Realty Inc.
“The big double garage was a bonus, and the condition of the house was fantastic – it was move-in ready with everything updated – so it was a nice overall package.”
