131 Brock Street

This pre-1920 Gothic Revival brick cottage has been freshened up — repainted exterior, updated kitchen cabinets, and refinished main living areas — while keeping the original hardwood floors that run through every main-floor room. The layout puts all three bedrooms and the only full bath on one level, which works well for a small family or those wanting everything on one floor. The kitchen is the most notable interior update: walnut-tone flat-panel cabinets, dark subway tile backsplash, and granite-look counters. The appliances are white, not stainless. The bathroom, located off the kitchen, uses budget peel-and-stick wall panels — functional but not a premium finish. The basement has a finished rec room with carpet and a separate unfinished mechanical area. The rear yard is a reasonable size for downtown Brantford, fully fenced, with an outbuilding at the back. At 1,151 sq ft above grade on a corner-adjacent lot, this is a practical entry-level detached home with genuine old-house character.
