About this home

Inside the home

This 1906 all-brick two-storey has been freshened up throughout — new laminate floors, fresh grey paint, an updated kitchen with flat-panel cabinets and marble-look counters, and two new 3-piece bathrooms with glass showers. The work is solid if budget-conscious, and the house is vacant with nothing blocking a quick close. Buyers should look past the heavy virtual staging in the listing photos. The real rooms are empty and straightforward. The main-level tile panel ceilings are dated and worth having tested. The basement is full but unfinished, and the front porch needs paint and minor repairs. The flexible layout — a large dining room, a separate front room, and three upper bedrooms — suits single-family use or a rental setup. Dual laundry (main floor and basement) and rear deck access from the kitchen are practical extras for the price.

  • Updated kitchen with new grey flat-panel cabinets, marble-look counters, and stainless appliances
  • Two updated 3-piece bathrooms with glass shower enclosures and modern tile
  • New laminate flooring throughout main and upper levels
  • Freshly painted throughout in neutral grey tones
  • Rear French door access from kitchen to back deck
  • Vacant — immediate possession available
  • All-brick exterior construction
  • Dual laundry setup (main floor and basement)
From the listing

Welcome to 196 Wellington Street in central Brantford. A classic, all-brick, 2-storey home offering incredible versatility at an accessible price point. Currently vacant and ready for immediate possession, this property presents a wide-open canvas. Enjoy its functional layout, or update and renovate it to perfectly match your personal taste and lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a single-family home, a multi-generational living setup, or a savvy investment property (ideal for student housing or standard residential rental), this property easily adapts to your needs. The sunlit upper-level features 3 comfortable bedrooms and a 3-piece bath. Every room is flooded with natural light thanks to tall windows. Best of all, it is entirely carpet-free across the bedrooms, bath, landing, and hallway. The bright main level offers a 3 pc. bath, more large windows letting in loads of sunlight, and no carpet, except for the staircase to the upper level. There is a dual laundry setup, providing ultimate convenience with two pairs of laundry machines: one set on the main floor and another on the lower level (4 washing/drying appliances total). The practical mudroom, located off the kitchen, serves as a covered side entrance and a great drop-zone for coats, shoes, cleaning

supplies, and recycling. There is convenient parking for 2 vehicles on the driveway. Consider also how the main floor layout is entirely customizable to your living situation: use the massive dining room for grand family meals, and keep the front room as a traditional, cozy living room or home office. ALTERNATIVELY, combine your living and dining spaces into the large dining room, freeing up the front living room to be used as an extra main-floor bedroom.
