Inside the home
This 1921 brick two-storey on Brant Avenue is one of the more architecturally intact older homes you will find in Brantford. The coffered wood ceiling in the family room, original leaded glass windows, and staircase newel post are the kind of details that don't get replicated in renovations. The kitchen was properly updated — granite counters, full-height espresso cabinetry, stainless appliances — and the main-floor powder room matches. The upper bathroom is the weak spot: dated whirlpool combo unit and basic fixtures that need a full redo. The basement is raw and unfinished, and one area of the foundation wall shows clear moisture staining — that warrants a closer look before closing. The primary bedroom is oversized with a walk-in closet, sitting area, and private balcony. New windows (2022) and a metal roof reduce near-term capital spending. The backyard is small but fully fenced with a flagstone patio, and there's both a detached garage and an attached carport.
