This 1944 cape cod sits on 1.43 acres in St. George, about 15 minutes from Brantford. The lot is the headline — large, treed, and quiet, with a detached double garage that has its own furnace and electrical panel.
Inside, the picture is mixed. Hardwood floors and a brick fireplace carry through the main level. The four-season sunroom is a practical addition with good yard views. The upper bathroom has been properly updated with a floating vanity and glass shower. The kitchen and main-floor bathroom, however, are still running on 1990s finishes — white coil range, laminate counters, cream tile.
The listing also includes a proposed severance for a 0.55-acre portion, with conditional county approval as of early 2024. That process is not yet complete, so buyers should factor in the uncertainty and cost of completing it.

Welcome to 303 Highway 5, St. George. This charming countryside property blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, offering a peaceful rural setting just minutes from Brantford and the quaint town of St. George. Situated on a spacious 1.43-acre lot, this 1.5-storey home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over the years. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the layout includes two bedrooms on the upper level and one on the main floor, currently used as a home office. The heart of the home is the large four-season sunroom addition—fully insulated, heated, and cooled—providing a bright and inviting space to enjoy year-round. The property boasts an oversized detached double garage, complete with its own electrical panel, gas furnace, and garage door opener—ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or additional storage. A separate shed with a custom ramp-style entry is perfect for yard equipment or recreational toys. Updates include a new sump pump (2024), composite deck, upgraded insulation, newer well pump (approx. 2016), house roof (2019), garage roof (2021), and a cleaned septic with new valves and caps (2021). Additionally, the property is undergoing a severance process for a 0.55-acre portion, with conditional approval already granted by the county (February 2024). Once remaining municipal conditions are met, this offers added potential and flexibility for future use or development. A rare opportunity to own a country property with character, space, and potential—all within close proximity to town conveniences.
