About this home

Inside the home

This 1880s two-storey brick home sits a short walk from downtown Brantford and Wilfrid Laurier University, which makes it a reasonable candidate for owner-occupancy or student rental income. The main floor has genuine character — high ceilings, crown moulding, and a front bedroom with a decorative fireplace. The condition is uneven. One bathroom has been freshly updated with a glass shower and modern vanity. The kitchen is a different story: white raised-panel cabinets, blue laminate counters, and a drop ceiling that works against the home's older bones. Upper floor bedrooms are small, some with sloped ceilings and no closets. The exterior has been partially refreshed with a new porch and painted brick, but the side elevations show peeling paint and the rear addition in white vinyl reads as a mismatch. Buyers should budget for kitchen and upper floor work.

  • Updated bathroom with glass shower and modern vanity
  • Crown moulding and high ceilings on main floor
  • Main floor primary bedroom with decorative fireplace
  • New covered front porch
  • Newer roof shingles visible from aerial
  • Fenced backyard
  • Walking distance to downtown and Wilfrid Laurier University
