About this home
This is a fully gut-renovated cottage on a corner lot in West Brant — new plumbing, electrical, shingles, windows, and two complete bathrooms inside a 752 sqft footprint. The exterior is a careful recreation of Brantford's historic Crystal Cottage, with original-style gingerbread trim, copper canopy, and period dentil cornice work. Inside, the renovation is clean and modern: large-format grey tile throughout, white walls, vaulted ceilings, and an open kitchen with a bold red island, white shaker cabinets, and butcher block counters. Mini-split units handle both heating and cooling. Two full bathrooms with subway tile is a genuine advantage at this size. The tradeoff is square footage. At 752 sqft with no basement, storage is limited and the rooms are compact. The patio and landscaping were still finishing up at the time of photos. Buyers who want a low-maintenance, fully updated small home with real architectural character will find this property hard to replicate at this price point.
Welcome to 104 Oak St. AKA The Turquoise Cottage! A beautiful re-interpretation of Brantford's Historic Crystal Cottage. From the street you can see the charm oozing from this home, from the antique turquoise glass insulators below the windows catching the sun's rays, to the gingerbread trim inside the front gable. The copper-clad canopy over the doors and the dental work trim wrapped below the soffits only add to the gorgeous curb appeal. This 2 bedroom home with 2 full baths gives you the look and feel of the past while boasting new plumbing, electrical and shingles to give you peace of mind. A bright and airy feel is made possible by the clean colour palette, vaulted ceilings and large new windows. The Primary Suite also features rough-in for kitchenette or wet bar. Set in quiet Old West Brant with its gorgeous parks and walking trails surrounding the neighbourhood. The home is also close to grocery stores, restaurants, home improvement stores and entertainment! Whether you're empty nesters looking to downsize or first time buyers looking for something better than a cookie-cutter home 'The Turquoise Cottage' is a must-see!.
