Inside the home
This is a large, three-storey century home on one of Brantford's most architecturally notable streets. The original bones are genuinely impressive — coffered wood ceilings in the dining room, herringbone hardwood in the foyer, leaded glass throughout, and tall rooms that newer construction can't replicate. The main kitchen has been updated with a copper farmhouse sink, granite counters, stainless appliances, and an island. The sunroom and basement in-law suite have also seen work. But the bathrooms tell a different story — most are original 1980s-2000s vintage and will need updating. Budget accordingly. The 0.254-acre lot is the largest on the block, with a 20x40 in-ground pool (new liner 2025), hot tub, and stamped concrete patio behind a brick garden wall. The finished third floor adds bonus space currently used as an art studio. At over 5,600 sq ft with six bedrooms, a loft, and a separate-entrance in-law suite, the scale of this property is unusual for central Brantford.
