Inside the home
This is a mixed-use income property on Burford's main street, not a single-family home. The building has a ground-floor commercial unit currently running as an ice cream shop, plus three two-bedroom residential apartments on the upper floors and in a connected rear section. All units are tenanted. Condition varies significantly across the building. One apartment has been partially refreshed with laminate floors and updated finishes. The other two are largely original 1980s-1990s, with dated kitchens, basic bathrooms, and worn common areas. The commercial storefront facade needs work. The unfinished basement and rear yard are functional but bare. Buyers should approach this as an investment acquisition requiring ongoing capital. The HA-C4 zoning allows a wide range of commercial uses, and four separate hydro meters add flexibility. A building inspection and review of current leases and rents is essential before making a decision.
- Mixed-use commercial-residential zoning (HA-C4)
- Four hydro meters in place
- Established commercial tenant (ice cream shop)
- Three fully rented residential apartments

Live, work, and invest - all under one roof in the thriving village of Burford. Offering approximately 4,000 square feet of above-grade space, this well-positioned mixed-use property features a prominent main-floor commercial unit zoned HA-C4 (Hamlet Core Commercial) - supporting a wide range of permitted uses, including retail, restaurant, café, professional office, personal services, bakery, studio space, and more. The commercial unit is just under 1,000 square feet and is currently home to an established ice cream shop, providing stable tenancy and strong visibility along King Street (note business is not for sale). The residential component includes three large 2-bedroom apartments, all fully rented, delivering consistent income from day one. The building also features a main-floor common laundry room plus basement storage and utilities. Four hydro meters are in place, offering the potential to configure separate metering for each unit, providing flexibility for future expense allocation. Located in the heart of Burford, within walking distance to local shops, parks, and Burford District Elementary School, this property appeals to families and long-term tenants alike. Quick access to Highway 403 allows convenient commuting to Brantford, Cambridge, and Hamilton, supporting strong rental demand and long-term growth potential. With established tenants, flexible HA-C4 zoning, multiple income streams, and downtown exposure, this is a rare opportunity to secure a stabilized mixed-use asset in one of Brant County's charming core communities. Position yourself in Burford's main street corridor - opportunities like this don't come along often.
