About this home

Inside the home

The real story here is the land. At nearly 6 acres inside Brantford city limits — backing toward the Grand River and the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail — this is a property type that rarely comes up. The house itself is a pre-1940s century home with exceptional original millwork: dark-stained wood columns, leaded glass built-in cabinets, a handsome staircase, and hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. Buyers need to go in clear-eyed. The exterior has visible deferred maintenance, the porch and foundation sides have accumulated debris, and the basement is unfinished with aging brick foundation walls. The 1990s kitchen and bathrooms are functional but will need updating. The rear yard is largely uncleared woodland. This is a project — priced as one — with the land being the primary asset. Buyers interested in restoration, a large private lot, or long-term land value will find the combination worth a serious look.

  • Rare 5.95-acre parcel within Brantford city limits
  • Exceptional original millwork — columns, leaded glass built-ins, banister, door surrounds
  • Hardwood floors throughout main and upper levels
  • Large lot with Grand River and Rail Trail proximity
  • Gas fireplace insert in family room
