18 Hawarden Avenue

This 1855 Italianate brick home is one of the larger and more architecturally intact century properties in Brantford. At 4,448 sq ft across three full storeys, the scale is genuine — formal principal rooms with original plaster medallions, panelling, and cast iron radiators on the main floor, a fully updated kitchen and bathrooms through the middle of the house, and a converted third floor with exposed timber trusses that functions as a major bonus living space. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated to a high standard: professional gas range, quartz counters, venetian plaster wet rooms, freestanding soaker tub, and a walk-in dressing room off the primary. The front porch was rebuilt with new hardwood decking and a cedar ceiling. Original stained glass, arched windows, and turned staircases remain throughout. The basement is unfinished and low-clearance — useful for storage and a workshop, not living space. The rear yard is deep and fenced with mature trees.
