This is a duplex with two very different units under one roof. The main front unit is a full three-bedroom, two-storey home with freshly painted walls and updated laminate floors throughout — but the kitchen and bathroom are original 1980s-1990s finishes that will need updating at some point.
The rear bachelor unit is a different story. It has been fully renovated with fresh drywall, pot lights, new laminate flooring, and a clean bathroom. It has its own separate exterior entrance and its own hydro meter.
The unfinished basement connects both units internally and contains the mechanical systems. One basement wall shows visible staining that buyers should have inspected. The rear yard is 132 feet deep with a fenced perimeter — the two worn outbuildings take up space but the lot has real upside for a future garage suite.

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.
