29 Nelson Street

This is a large late-1800s brick home on a corner lot in Downtown Brantford, zoned for both commercial and residential use. The bones are genuinely remarkable — original stained glass windows, a carved Victorian fireplace mantel, ornate pierced-wood room divider headers, and a turned wood staircase that most buyers will never find in a modern house. The practical side is less polished. There are two separate kitchen areas (main floor and upper floor), both with dated 1990s-2000s finishes. Hardwood floors run throughout but show significant wear. The basement is unfinished stone foundation, and the exterior trim needs attention. Heating is all radiant through original cast iron radiators, with mini-split units added later for cooling. At nearly 2,900 sq ft on three floors, this property suits a buyer comfortable taking on a project — whether that's a multi-unit rental, a live-work conversion, or a full restoration of a building that still has most of its original character intact.
