This is a compact two-bedroom bungalow with concrete block construction on a deep, fully fenced lot. At 657 square feet, the floor plan is tight — living, dining, kitchen, two bedrooms, and one bathroom all on one level, with a partial unfinished basement below.
The kitchen is original oak with laminate counters. A newer stainless gas range is the standout appliance, though the white fridge doesn't match. The bathroom has an updated vanity and subway tile tub surround, and doubles as the laundry room with a stacked Samsung washer/dryer — worth knowing before you walk in.
The backyard is the strongest feature: deep, level, fully fenced with new cedar, a concrete patio, and a detached shed. Central air is in place. This is a functional starter or investment property that needs a kitchen update to reach its ceiling.

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.
