About this home

Inside the home

This is a small freehold bungalow — 724 square feet, two bedrooms, one bath — in a walkable spot a few blocks from downtown Brantford and the VIA Rail station. The footprint is compact, but you own the land with no condo fees attached. Inside, the floors have been updated and the kitchen has been freshened with white cabinets, subway tile, and stainless appliances including a gas range. The bathroom and the knotty pine panelling in the den are original and show their age. The backyard is fully fenced with a concrete patio. At this price, buyers are paying for location and freehold ownership. The home needs cosmetic work and will benefit from a bathroom update. The rail yard is close — worth a visit at different times of day to assess noise.

  • Stainless steel appliances including gas range
  • Subway tile backsplash in kitchen
  • Light laminate flooring throughout main level
  • Fully fenced backyard
  • Walking distance to downtown Brantford and VIA Rail station
  • Freehold — no condo fees
