Inside the home
The lot is the main event here. At 0.41 acres with 73 feet of frontage and nearly 250 feet of depth, this is one of the larger urban parcels you'll find in this part of Brantford — and the aerial photos make that clear. The 1949 brick home is livable but needs significant work throughout. The kitchen and both bathrooms are original and dated. The rear sunroom addition is in poor shape and should be inspected carefully. Upstairs bedrooms have worn flooring and need cosmetic attention throughout. The basement has a finished rec room and sleeping areas from the 1960s-70s era, but egress is a concern for any legal use. A detached double garage, a newer Bosch boiler, original hardwood floors and wood trim on the main level, and a deep fenced yard are the practical highlights. Buyers should come in with renovation budgets and realistic timelines — or a longer-term land strategy.

Not every property leads with the house — and this one doesn't need to. Set on an exceptional 0.41-acre lot in the city, 26 Alice St offers 73 feet of frontage and nearly 250 feet of depth — a rare find in an established urban neighbourhood. The land alone makes this one worth a serious look, whether you're an investor, developer, or buyer with a vision. The 1949 home has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a 1,318 sq ft layout that's been lived in and loved. Key mechanicals have been updated, and the big detached garage — over 560 sq ft — gives you exceptional storage, workshop, or hobby space. The rest of the home is a blank canvas, ready for someone willing to put in the work and bring it to its full potential. The lot is the story here. Under Brantford's current low-rise residential guidelines, this property may offer redevelopment opportunity — whether that's an additional unit, a multiplex configuration, or a longer-term land play. Variances may apply. Priced to reflect condition. Opportunity like this doesn't come along often.
