A 1948 cottage-style home on a deep, heavily treed lot steps from the Brant Conservation Area. The property runs 105 x 235 feet — far more land than the house size suggests — with established perennial gardens, stone retaining walls, and a fire pit area in the rear.
Inside, the main floor has an open kitchen and dining area with wood cabinetry and a gas range, flowing into a living room with an electric fireplace. The upper level is a loft-style primary suite with a full ensuite, jacuzzi tub, and separate shower — functional but finished in early-2000s tile that buyers may want to refresh. The basement is fully unfinished with room to develop.
The new 2023 roof, detached garage, and private driveway are practical positives. This is a quiet, nature-adjacent property that trades square footage for lot size and setting.

Tutela Heights, Oakhill and the airport pocket sit on the edge of the city where lots get larger, houses get more custom and the pace slows down.
