Inside the home
This is a solid 1968 brick bungalow on a large rural lot in St. George, with a pond at the rear and mature trees giving the property genuine separation from neighbours. The lot and setting are the headline. Inside, the kitchen and main bathroom are fully original — functional but clearly due for an update. Laminate floors run through the living room and most bedrooms. The partially finished basement has a bedroom and room to expand, backed by recent waterproofing work and a new 200-amp panel. Buyers should budget for a kitchen and bath renovation. The bones and the land are sound. For anyone wanting rural character close to Brantford without starting from scratch, this is worth a hard look.
