Inside the home
This is a legal duplex with two self-contained units on a central Brantford lot — one block from the kind of location that keeps units rented. The upper unit was fully gutted and rebuilt in 2023: vaulted ceilings, open-concept kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, gold hardware, and stainless appliances. It photographs well and should rent well. The main-level unit is a step down in finish quality but functional — updated grey kitchen with butcher block counters, a clean 4-piece bathroom, hardwood floors in the living areas, and carpet in the larger bedroom. Both units have their own entrance, hydro meter, and water meter. The exterior is the weak point — the brick shows its age, the front porch ceiling needs work, and the gravel driveway is utilitarian. Mechanicals are in good shape: roof replaced 2016 and 2022, furnace 2021, central AC 2022.
