Inside the home
This is a dual-address property — 273 and 275 Brant Avenue — sitting on a larger-than-average lot with significant rear parking. The two units were originally built as semi-detached homes and later merged on title. One side has been used as a window treatment business; the other as a residential rental. Vacant possession is promised on closing. The commercial unit (275) has the better finishes: hardwood floors, crown moulding, updated shower, and a renovated front room with built-in shelving. The residential side (273) is more dated — original kitchen with white appliances, a stacked washer-dryer in the kitchen, and basic upper-floor bedrooms. The real story here is flexibility. The zoning permits multiple uses, the lot is large, and the dual-entrance layout already exists. Buyers should factor in the age of the structure and plan for due diligence on mechanical systems. This is a property for someone with a clear plan, not someone looking for a finished product.

Opportunities like this are few and far between. Take a look at this beautiful, historic property located in one of Brantford's heritage districts: 273–275 Brant Avenue. This property was originally two semi-detached residential homes, now merged on title. There is potential to separate the property back into two distinct addresses, or to explore a conversion to full residential or full commercial use. Whether you’re interested in restoring the original division, maintaining the current mixed-use setup, or reconfiguring the property entirely, there is flexibility here, all depending on your vision and the necessary approvals. Better yet, the property will be delivered with vacant possession. The current zoning allows for a plethora of uses. It could even make sense as student housing given the proximity to Laurier. Step into 273, the residential unit, and you’re welcomed by a large living room, kitchen, a three-piece bathroom, and a main floor bedroom. Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms and a two-piece bathroom. Next door at 275, the current commercial use unit offers a spacious front room, a second large room, a fully functional kitchen, and a three-piece bathroom. The upper level is completely open concept, ready to be customized to your needs. A rare find on Brant Avenue, the lot is generously sized with ample parking, which is another major bonus. The current owners are ready to move on and are looking for the right buyer to write the next chapter of this unique property's story. Don't delay Call your REALTOR® today.
