About this home

Inside the home

This is a shell — no interior finishes, no operating units, no livable condition. What you are buying is a 5,116 sq ft brick structure from 1891, zoned LD Lower Downtown, with an 11-unit layout (6 bachelor, 5 one-bedroom) waiting to be rebuilt from the inside out. The exterior shows the full weight of deferred maintenance: heavy ivy coverage, boarded windows, a rusted rear fire escape, and debris on the lot. The brick itself may have structural issues hidden under the vine growth. A full inspection and engineering review are essential before any purchase decision. The upside is the footprint, the zoning, and the downtown location. For a contractor or developer willing to carry a complete gut renovation, this is a raw redevelopment opportunity in a central Brantford neighbourhood.

  • Large 5,116 sq ft multi-unit building footprint
  • 11-unit potential (6 bachelor, 5 one-bedroom)
  • Downtown East/North Ward location
  • LD Lower Downtown zoning
  • Sizeable rear yard with development potential
