About this home
This is a five-bedroom brick century home on a corner lot in Downtown Brantford, and its most practical feature may be what you can't see in the photos: two separate hydro meters already in place, plus two staircases connecting the floors. That setup makes a duplex conversion far more straightforward than in a typical older home. The original hardwood floors are in good shape, the brick exterior is solid, and the period details — original window casings, French doors with transoms, cast iron radiators — are intact. The kitchen has been refreshed with white cabinetry and a tile backsplash but stops short of a full renovation. The upper bathrooms are functional and clean but haven't been significantly updated. The rear of the home includes a sunroom, a wood-burning fireplace room with French doors to a small deck, and a detached garage. The full basement is unfinished. Buyers looking for a large family home or an income-generating property will find the bones here — but should budget for bathroom updates and mechanical review given the age.
Welcome to this spacious and charming century home—an ideal haven for large families or a prime investment opportunity with incredible multi-use potential. With five generous bedrooms, this versatile property can easily be converted into a duplex, thanks to its thoughtful layout and the convenience of having two separate electric meters—one for the main floor and one for the upper level. Step inside and be captivated by the timeless elegance of the main floor, featuring extra-large baseboard moldings and exquisite window casings that add character and warmth. Two separate staircases—front and rear—lead to the upper level, enhancing both functionality and charm. The main floor offers two inviting living areas, perfect for both entertaining and everyday comfort. At the heart of the home, the eat-in kitchen boasts ample prep space, abundant cabinetry, and a sleek tile backsplash—ideal for casual family meals. Step into the four-season sunroom, which could also serve as a sixth bedroom, the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee or simply take in views of your peaceful surroundings. In addition to the eat-in kitchen, the home features a spacious formal dining room—perfect for hosting family gatherings and memorable meals. Toward the back of the home, the cozy family room features a striking wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open onto your private deck. From here, admire your beautifully landscaped backyard and serene green space. Upstairs, you’ll find four well-appointed bedrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet. Two of the additional bedrooms also include walk-in closets, perfect for keeping everything organized. Outside, a double-wide driveway leads to a detached single-car garage, offering plenty of space for parking and seasonal storage. This unique property blends historic charm with modern convenience and is brimming with possibilities—whether you’re looking for a forever family home or your next investment venture.
