This 1905 brick two-storey has kept most of its original character — dark wood trim, French pocket doors, and a decorative fireplace in the front sitting room. The house has been lived in steadily and shows it, but the bones are solid and the major systems have been addressed over the years.
The big selling point is the rear addition: a nearly 20x20-foot family room with vaulted ceilings and a walkout to the upper deck. The basement recreation room was recently floored with LVT and works well as a media space. The upper bathroom has been refreshed with a modern vanity and clean finishes.
The kitchen and front porch are the areas that need the most attention. The oak cabinetry and tile floor are from the mid-2000s and due for an update. At $499,900 for a three-bedroom with this much finished space in the Downtown East/North Ward area, buyers are paying for room — not renovation credits.

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.
