Inside the home
This is a dual-address property on a high-visibility stretch of Brant Avenue — two former semi-detached homes now on a single title, currently running as one residential unit and one commercial space. The lot is a genuine asset: large gravel rear yard with parking for eight or more vehicles, rare in this part of the city. Unit 275 has been used as a drapery showroom and the front rooms show it — hardwood floors, crown moulding, pot lights, and built-in shelving throughout. Unit 273 reads more like a standard rental: a partially updated kitchen, one refreshed bathroom with a tiled glass shower, and original upper-floor finishes that need work. The appeal here is flexibility. The zoning supports several uses, the lot supports parking-dependent businesses, and the proximity to Laurier makes student housing a practical option. Buyers should budget for cosmetic updates throughout and factor in the partial, unfinished basement.

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.
