Inside the home
Nearly 6 acres inside Brantford city limits is the headline here — that kind of lot size is rare within city boundaries, and it wraps around a 1914 century home with intact original millwork that most renovators would pay to recreate. The leaded glass column cabinets, original banister, and dark stained trim are all still in place. The house needs real work. The kitchen is a 1990s pine-cabinet update, the bathroom is dated, and the basement is fully unfinished with low ceilings and stone walls. There is deferred maintenance visible inside and out, including debris around the exterior and storm-downed trees in the rear. This is a project property that suits someone with a renovation plan and an eye for land value. The bones and the acreage are the case for buying — not the current condition.

{STEP INSIDE} Pull into the cul-de-sac and the first thing you notice is the land - 5.95 acres inside Brantford's city limits, wrapped around a century home with a huge front porch. Original hardwood & trim run through the main level. This is a property for someone who wants space, character & a real project - families, investors, contractors & renovators will all see the potential here. {MAIN LEVEL} The living room has hardwood flooring & antique woodworking details. The family room is built for the cold months, with a gas fireplace, hardwood floors & a ceiling fan - the kind of room that earns its keep on a winter evening. The kitchen is a real eat-in space, with a ceiling fan, fridge, stove & double sink, plus a walk-out to the backyard for easy summer dinners. The dining room has hardwood flooring & a bay window overlooking the backyard. A 4pc bathroom with sheet vinyl flooring completes the main level. {UPPER LEVEL} The primary bedroom has hardwood flooring, a sink & a walk-in closet. A 1pc powder room sits on this level. Bedroom two has hardwood flooring & cathedral ceilings, giving it an unexpected sense of height. Bedroom three has a walk-in closet & a double mirror closet - plenty of storage for a growing family. {LOWER LEVEL} The basement is large & unfinished, divided into three sections with a sump pump, utility area & laundry area. A separate access to the backyard means it could become its own space down the line - a workshop, storage or a future finished area. {LOCATION} Quiet cul-de-sac setting inside Brantford, close to schools with both the Grand Erie District School Board & Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board serving the city. The Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, the Grand River & Mohawk Lake are all close by for walking, cycling & time outdoors. Brantford sits directly on Highway 403, keeping Hamilton & the GTA within easy reach.
