This 1905 brick cottage on a quiet Eagle Place street is largely original inside — carpet, kitchen, and bathroom all reflect a 1970s-80s era that will need updating. That said, the bones are solid, the layout is practical, and the mechanicals have been addressed: a Trane high-efficiency furnace is in place and the roof was redone in 2021.
The main floor has three bedrooms, a separate dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a bonus room that could serve as a second bathroom, laundry, or pantry. The unfinished basement is a genuine blank slate — large enough for a rec room and workshop once finished.
Buyers should budget for cosmetic work throughout. What you get in return is a detached home with a fenced yard, side entrance, and good lot in an established neighbourhood close to the Grand River and Laurier University.

Eagle Place
Eagle Place is the tight old Brantford grid south of the Grand, directly connected into downtown with no bridge crossing, and still one of the lowest detached entry points in the city.
