This is a four-unit income property on a double lot a short walk from downtown Brantford. Two of the four units have been renovated in recent years — updated kitchens with white shaker cabinets and stainless appliances, new bathrooms with glass showers, and fresh flooring throughout. The other two units, including the basement, are functional but dated and represent the clearest upside for a buyer willing to renovate on tenant turnover.
The double lot is the other key asset here. The gravel parking area handles multiple vehicles comfortably, and the rear yard is large and largely open — useful as-is for tenants, and potentially valuable depending on zoning. Per the listing, major mechanicals including roof, windows, plumbing, and electrical have been updated, and water heaters are owned.
This is a working rental property, fully occupied. Buyers should factor in the mixed unit condition when underwriting rents and returns.

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.
