This 1895 yellow brick home has good bones and a large fenced lot, but it needs significant cosmetic work throughout. Both living units — main floor and upper — are largely original, with the upper-floor kitchen dating to the 1950s and the main floor kitchen to the 1970s or 80s. Neither has been updated.
The real story here is the multi-unit layout. The home already functions as two separate living spaces, with the upper floor having its own kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. For a buyer comfortable with renovation, or an investor willing to update both units, there is income potential built into the structure.
Hardwood floors are present under the main floor living areas. The upper bathroom retains an original clawfoot tub. The detached outbuilding at the rear needs work. Budget for a full renovation of both kitchens and all bathrooms before this property reaches modern rental or resale standards.

Harmony Square, Brant Avenue, the VIA station and the older wards make this Brantford's most urban pocket. Walkability is real here, but so is the variation from block to block.
