About this home

Inside the home

This is a full semi-detached duplex — both units, both titles — sold together. One purchase gets you two rental incomes, two separate entrances, and two self-contained living spaces. That setup is the main story here. The units are in mixed condition. The second unit has a fresher kitchen with white cabinets and a stone tile backsplash. The first unit still has its original 1990s teal counters and dated finishes. Laminate floors run through most of the main levels. The front deck needs replacing. Some yard areas need cleanup. Buyers should approach this as an income property with cosmetic work ahead, not a finished product. Rental income of $3,200 per month combined is already in place.

  • Two separate units under one ownership title
  • Unit 2 has updated kitchen with modern white cabinets and stone tile backsplash
  • Main-floor laundry in both units
  • Fenced backyard on one unit with paver patio and shed
  • Central AC visible
  • Both units tenanted with rental income in place
From the listing

A rare, blue-chip real estate acquisition offering both sides of an entire semi-detached property in a rapidly growing Brantford enclave. This unique asset is perfectly tailored for both the sophisticated first-time buyer looking to execute an elite "house-hacking" strategy, and the seasoned investor seeking a stable, high-yield addition to their portfolio. For the owner-occupant, it represents the ultimate vehicle for wealth building: live in one side while the adjacent unit heavily subsidizes your mortgage. For the pure investor, it is a rare, low-maintenance cash-flow machine with an exceptional footprint and separate upside potential. This property delivers immediate, predictable revenue from day one with reliable tenants already in place. Unit 1 generates $1,400 per month (tenant pays gas and hydro; landlord covers water), while Unit 2 brings in $1,800 per month on an all-inclusive structure. You are purchasing both semi-detached titles under one umbrella, you enjoy total autonomy over the entire plot. Situated in a prime Brantford neighbourhood close to transit corridors, universities, and amenities, this location ensures historically low vacancy rates and strong capital appreciation.

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.
