Inside the home
This is a fully renovated 1948 cape cod on a near-acre ravine lot in Echo Place — an unusual combination for Brantford at this price. The main floor was opened up and rebuilt around a custom kitchen with a large dark island, granite and quartz countertops, herringbone marble backsplash, and a built-in stainless fridge. Reclaimed barn beams run through the main level, and the dining room opens to a rear deck overlooking the property. The upper floor has two bedrooms with skylights and dormer ceilings. The main floor office functions as a fourth bedroom. The finished basement includes a second kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and a heavily themed ship-style rec room with a gas fireplace — usable as an in-law suite, though there is no separate entrance. The lot itself is the headline: a creek runs through the rear, with a wooden boardwalk and a covered gazebo bridge structure. There is an attached garage and a second detached garage/workshop at the rear that is older and shows its age.

The fully finished basement would be a great spot for a family member wanting their own space (*but no separate entrance*) as it has a new kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and the coolest (ship theme!) double rec room with a cozy gas fireplace and bar area...
