1083 Colborne Street

Built in 1890 and known as Elmcroft, this red brick two-storey sits on a large irregular lot in Echo Place with a 1,200 sq ft heated workshop behind it — a rare combination for a residential property in Brantford. The kitchen has been properly redone with white shaker cabinets, butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, and stainless appliances. Wide-plank pine floors and original cast iron radiators run throughout. A rear addition opens up the main floor with a family room anchored by an exposed original brick arch and a wood stove. The metal roof is a significant long-term maintenance advantage. Upper floor pine floors need refinishing. No central air — three portable units are included. The basement is unfinished storage and utility only. The workshop has separate driveway access and C2 zoning, which buyers with trade or hobby use should investigate further.
