About this home

Inside the home

A four-level backsplit in West Brant that backs directly onto the Grand River ravine — no rear neighbours, mature trees, and a fenced yard. The main floor got new vinyl plank flooring in 2022 and the bathroom was properly renovated in 2021 with new tile, vanity, and fixtures. Those are the clear wins. The kitchen is functional but not a renovation — white-painted older cabinets and a black appliance suite that doesn't match the listing's stainless steel claim. The basement rec room is large (23x15) but carries a heavy 1980s knotty pine finish that will need work to feel current. New AC and hot water heater in 2025 reduce near-term mechanical risk. The separate basement entrance, second bathroom below grade, and partially framed storage rooms give this home real flexibility for extended family or future finishing.

  • Renovated main bathroom with marble-look tile surround and granite-look countertop
  • New vinyl plank flooring throughout main level (2022)
  • Backs onto Grand River ravine with no rear neighbours
  • Four-level backsplit with separate entrance to basement — good flex potential
  • Large finished rec room in basement plus workshop and additional bathroom
  • New hot water heater (2025) and new central AC (2025)
  • Double attached garage with separate 60-amp panel and spray foam insulation
  • Fenced rear yard
From the listing

Honey, I'm Home! Tucked into one of West Brant’s most desirable family neighbourhoods, this

beautifully maintained four-level backsplit offers the rare combination of privacy,

nature, and everyday convenience. Backing onto the Grand River woodlands and ravine,

the newly fenced backyard feels like your own private retreat. Mature trees

surround the property, creating a peaceful space where children can play safely,

pets can roam, and evenings can be spent relaxing on the patio overlooking the

treed landscape. Inside, the home is bright and welcoming with a sun-filled living

and dining area framed by a classic bay window. Spacious eat-in kitchen with new, factory-fresh stainless steel appliances! Updated multi-level vinyl flooring

(2022) adds warmth and continuity throughout the home, while the fully renovated

main bathroom (2021) provides modern comfort. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms

offer space for a growing family and beautiful natural views. The lower level

creates a cozy cottage-style gathering space perfect for movie nights or relaxing

after a long day.The basement offers excellent flexibility with a separate

entrance, workshop or potential fourth bedroom, laundry area, and additional

bathroom—ideal for extended family or future possibilities.Major mechanical

upgrades including a new water heater (January 2025) and a new air conditioning

unit (June 2025) provide added peace of mind. The property includes a fully

finished, heated double garage with spray-foam insulation and its own 60-amp panel,

ideal for hobbies, projects, or entertaining. This is more than just a home—it’s a
